Amazon was using loss leader pricing on many bestsellers. This can work for them because books are only 10 percent of their business, and they can use bargain books to drive often affluent readers into buying more profitable items.
Amazon's competition had far less ability to make up for losses on bestsellers. Agency would have helped them.
