The settlement hasn't been approved by the court yet, let alone implemented.

Example go look on Amazon for a book published by Random House (who is using the Agency model) say "Payback" " by Phil Town. Under the price you will see it listed as "Price set by distributor. Now look for a book that is not in the Agency Model say "Princess Bride" or "Hunger Games ". You'll see both of these are reduced and no mention that the price was set by the vendor.

Payback is agency and non-discountable just like always. The other two can be discounted because Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and Scholastic are non-agency publishers and never have been. I know how to tell the difference, but don't see what you're trying to say by the example you're giving.
