Immaterial to my point. What was my point? Oh yeah .... that there never WAS any $9.99 price point for all (or even most) newly released ebooks. WHY is it relevant? Because many BPH apologists and Apple defenders claim that there WAS a $9.99 price point for all newly released ebooks. Their (Apple + BPH) actions were supposedly a direct response to it--
it being the thing that never really existed (namely, a $9.99 price point for all newly released ebooks).
