Some readers and a vocal group on MR oppose agency pricing, but I suspect that most readers don't care one way or the other. What they care about is getting the book they want at the price they want to pay, not how that price is calculated or how the price is distributed among publisher, retailer, and author.
I also suspect that if agency pricing was set at $2.99 and the wholesale model meant the consumer price would be higher than $2.99, most MR opponents would no longer be opponents of agency pricing, but of wholesale pricing.
What we really know is that people have determined how much they are willing to pay for an ebook and do not care how that price point is reached, only that it is reached.
