Have you provided any dates or other evidence for this "

I'm not saying they weren't raising ebook prices. I'm saying I don't remember it all. It certainly didn't affect my buying habits if it
was going on. My new-release best-sellers were consistently priced at $9.99 right up until the agency fight commenced. Backlist (where available) was always priced much lower than it is now, too. The increase in the price
I was paying for ebooks from Amazon coincided exactly with the agency fight.
