Well, yes. Hachette demanded agency pricing, and afterward, Amazon demanded something right back. So as I said, who started this?

If you are going to continue arguing with me, at some point I will want to see you actually acknowledge what I say. Your continued pretending that Hatchette just woke up one day with Amazon knocking on the door saying "give us more money" is getting really tiresome. Your arguments say nothing new and shed no light on anything down to and including your thought processes. You continually give the same one-sided view of things and do not even take into consideration the idea that there may be two sides to the issue, and until you do, we cannot possibly have a meaningful discussion.
