How would you arrange it otherwise? Each book is unique, and is often published by a single publisher world-wide. You're saying that you don't think the publisher has the right to decide for themselves what it's sold for? You sound as if you're saying that agency pricing itself should be outlawed, but I really don't think that's practical. All sorts of things are sold through agency agreements.
