Agency didn't stop discounting; it set a floor for discounting. eBooks still had suggested retail prices that were much higher than the floor (agency) price. A retailer could choose to discount an ebook any amount it wanted as long as the final price was not less than the agency price. Retailers were NOT required to sell an ebook at the agency price.
