I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure FW already operates on an agency basis. Also, I'm not sure a change from a distributor/retailer model to an agency model will impact the function of "buyer's club" programs, which is the source of FW's best discounts. B&N, though they're not using it for e-books yet, has a substantial buyers club program in place already. My guess is that, if they're pushed to an agency model (assuming they aren't already operating that way), they will accelerate incorporating buyers club discounts on e-books.
