Admittedly, many of my purchases were during sales or with discounts from loyalty programs that were no longer allowed by agency pricing.
On the other hand, some of the publishers finally started selling ebook editions of nearly all of their books in print. I think Macmillan may have been the most egregious hold-out. Their SF/F imprint Tor basically didn't sell ebooks until after agency pricing went into effect.

When I first set up Calibre in 2011, I added a price column. I filled in the prices from ereader, Amazon, etc. but gave up on fictionwise titles. Between the cost for subscribing, sales, rebates, credits given for subscribing, credits bought on sale, etc. it was hopeless trying to figure out what I'd actually paid for any particular book.
