I favor a system where the retailer sets consumer prices, not the publishers. If the publishers don't like the way a particular retailer discounts, then they're free to pull their books from that retailer and have them sold elsewhere. It's little wonder that Apple favors Agency, because they use that very model for the goods they produce.
