Facts are facts. Agency pricing isn't illegal and has been tested in the courts a number of times. It's been used by the music industry from digital music for decades. Some here may think it ought to be illegal, but that doesn't make it so. The same judge who found against the publishers and Apple approved the individual contracts between Amazon and the various publishers.

As far as pricing goes, yea, I get that some people want free books, or at least dirt cheap books. Well, there is always PD books and Kindle Unlimited. Might not be the books you want, but they are either free or really cheap. Some of them are quite good. Obviously, enough people buy ebooks at the various price points to make money for the publishers and authors. I know it stinks that authors need to make a living, but there you go.
