They'll have a harder time doing that if Random House ebooks continue to sell well, and independent publishers start to outstrip their sales in some stores.

Samhain Publishing should consider the agency model a godsend and figure out how they're going to get the attention of readers who are annoyed at the 50% price hike in their favorite categories of ebooks.
