I still buy a lot of ebooks, even from agency 5, but I rarely buy a ebook priced over $5. So, if they're claiming ebooks sales are down, are they considering ebook sales by gross receipts or by number of ebooks sold? If it's the former, maybe they are just seeing better informed consumers taking advantage of their sales?

As to Amazon boycotting libraries, when did Rakuten buy Overdrive? I suspect that if Overdrive went DRM free on audio after Rakuten bought it, that could have also entered into Amazon's decision.
