The Agency Model is just another way to say price fixing. I have a huge backlog of ebooks and don't have the need to purchase any of the grossly overpriced, DRM laden offerings from the publishers. It is my hope that more readers will say no to price fixing and not purchase ebooks.

More than enough reason to skip them. But instead of boycotting them just think of them with revulsion. As in "I do not need to look at the used toilet paper".

Price fixing is price fixing, whether or not it is in the open.
