Well, now...
The Agency years saw massive migration to indie books and also away from vendors with mostly generic BPH catalogs (and no discounts) to Amazon.
Book buyers may not have taken to the streets but a lot of them simply walked away from the higher-priced titles. Passive resistance is still resistance.
