That is BS and you know it. Shops like Fictionwise and BooksOnBoard were doing well before Agency.

Lots of MR users shopped at these stores. There is no way they were going under before Agency.

Yes, some stores did go under and it was not from Agency. PaperBackDigital was one such store. But they only sold Mobipocket format eBooks and that was not sustainable with MS Reader and ePub.

So please spare us this "Agency wasn't as fault" because it most surely was at fault.
