So again. No proof that:



All you can really say is perhaps agency didn't have the impact on ebook prices that people might think.

But there's no proof that agency actually kept ebook prices low or restrained Amazon in any way.
Look, I'm not going to play the old internet debating game where someone keeps asking for proof ever few years of something . I posted the prices I was paying for books at Amazon for a period of years predating Agency pricing, including Agency pricing, during the Cote years and then the resumption of Agency pricing. If you don't want to go to the effort of pulling that up, it's on you. I'm under no obligation to keep putting it out there every time someone wants to pretend it was never put out there.

Since you are arguing against a strawman, I will restate what I was saying. Agency pricing is about allowing the publishers to set the prices. It is about letting the publishers find the point on the cost curve where they get the biggest profit. That is it.
