Let's wait until the policy is supposed to go into effect before complaining that they are not following it.

Actually, that's not completely correct.

Amazon sets the price at 9.99, yes. But they do so based on the publisher's suggested retail price - Macmillan's price - of 14.99. And the 14.99 is the price that Macmillan receives their revenue percent. And THAT is why we don't trust or believe in them...because they're not acting in good faith NOW with either Amazon or with consumers, so why should we believe they will when they have contracts that are even more favorable to them?
