great response. why? amazon was screwing them previously with their monopolistic guidelines. they were driving DOWN the profits made by publishers and authors. can you explain to me how that's a good thing for books and authors in general?

Yes, markets work. However, why are you allowing only publishers any pricing power?

because its their content. how does amazon in any way change it or make it better? or for that matter anyone else? if the books are solely owned by macmillan (or any publisher for that matter), then why shouldn't they be allowed to dictate the cost?
