Are you claiming agency, did not restrict a seller's ability to discount Big5 ebooks as they saw fit? Or that controlling how much ebooks can be discounted was not a goal of agency?
Which one of those are not undebatable facts?

Loyalty programs and discounting specific books are not one and the same things. There are a lot of different ways to do a loyalty program. REI has a loyalty program which provides a dividend at the end of the year based on how much you spent during the year. That dividend is just a store credit that can be spent on anything in the store. Such a loyalty program would be perfectly valid in a standard agency model. What specifically is allowed and not allowed depends completely on the contract in place. So I am claiming _neither_ of the statements you are trying to put in my mouth. I am simply stating that loyalty programs in general are not prohibited by the agency pricing model.
