Exactly. It is certainly true for me.
This ridiculous claim is repeated every time new figures come out. But the figures it is based upon leave out a vast portion of the industry. The headline really should be something like "Sales of Big 5 Ebooks drop X%". And figuring out the main reason for this more accurate statement is not rocket science. It's not agency per se. It is the high prices that the Big 5 are setting for their books now they have the ability to do so.
