Well, yes, the publishers fixed the prices with Apple as the coordinator. I thought that's what I said, maybe I wasn't clear enough.

I would also point out that Apple presented evidence in court that the ebook prices actually went down across the board. It was only a select few (i.e. the best seller type books that Amazon was pricing at $9.99) that actually went up. This is part of their appeal.
That evidence is the laughingstock of MobileRead, a place where people buy books across the board in tremendous quantity, and wide variety.
