There are lies, damn lies and statistics. Did they count the list price before agency or the discounted price? Did they include free ebook promotions in the average price? The conspiracy that Apple facilitated removed any form of retailer price discount, or coupon so it's ludicrous to claim that it caused increased competition that drove down prices.
