The
old fascist is off again, eh? Oh look, he gets the facts wrong too.
"the price of all Kindle books would be $9.99"... lol.
He's stating that Amazon were somehow setting the list price, which is of course completely incorrect, and that they were not taking the hit from loss leaders themselves...which of course they were.
Stop paying attention to him. Really. Honestly, when he opens his mouth you can generally tell the moral path by going 180 to his ranting.
