That's Agency pricing, though. The authors set the price, and sign an agreement that the book won't be sold for less anywhere else. In exchange for that, they get 70% of whatever Amazon gets when the book is sold. Is that the agreement that the publishers have with Amazon? Or are they using the warehouse model?
