What's funny is that in many ways Macmillan's proposed pricing structure is very similar to Baen's. $15 for "must have it now," falling to $6 later. Yes they're stretching it out over a longer timeline, but the same idea is there.

They were also trying for DRM-free releases as well, but Amazon wouldn't go for it.

I won't pay $15 for most ebooks either, but that doesn't put Amazon in the right.
