Quite frankly, it's none of their business how Amazon chooses to set retail prices on ebooks after Amazon has purchased them. As far as I'm concerned, it's up to the retailer to set prices, not the company providing the product; and loss leaders are nothing new to the business world. If the publishers didn't like what Amazon was doing, then they should've pulled their books and sold them elsewhere.
