I realize that, but I don't see how it effects that statement. Amazon is not a customer. They are a reseller. Also, that letter was pretty poorly written. In particular I can't make sense of this sentence: "The price will be set the price for each book individually."


I'm sorry, but there is absolutely NO justification in charging $14.99 for an ebook that was a direct release into mass market paperback. They did this with Lisa Kleypas' "Tempt Me at Twilight" and I wrote them a nastygram about it. And if you read that letter closely, that's exactly the practice he wants to continue.
