Good news for consumers?

EDIT: from http://mashable.com/2014/10/20/amazo...m-Tw-main-link

Quote:
"We are very happy with this agreement as it is economically advantageous for both Simon & Schuster and its authors and maintains the author’s share of income generated from eBook sales," Reid wrote. "It addresses our mutual concerns about preserving the value of our intellectual property in the marketplace, as it is a return to a version of agency pricing that, with some limited exceptions, gives control of eBook pricing to Simon & Schuster, while providing us the flexibility to deliver great prices for readers."
That sounds potentially bad for consumers.
