One of my problems with the whole agency model is they no longer allow the coupons and member discounts. I can get a Barnes and Noble card and get a discount on every paper book they sell, plus they occasionally send out coupons for further discounts. But because I prefer ebooks, I can't have that same option. That makes no sense to me. If they are going to set the prices for ebooks, they need to do the same with paper books. They won't, because they know that would be a big mistake and generate a lot of anger in the reading public and would end up costing them.
