Don't get me wrong... I dislike agency pricing as a concept intensely, but the prices seen during the first (and current) agency period are very similar to what early-adopter ebook buyers were already used to paying before Amazon instituted the $9.99 bestseller.

It looks to me like something changed with (at least some) BPH prices. It used to be that (almost always) the ebook was priced at the same price as the cheapest ebook. Now it seems like many ebooks are priced more than thier pbooks. I'm talking about older books by big U.S. authors from BPHs, so I believe these aren't considered "best sellers". I checked Lee Child, John Irving, and Stephen King's older books. Stephen King's prices seemed to be mixed.
