Yes, I am participating but I will confess to not knowing that a boycott existed. The issue of 9.99 is arbitrary and really not worth arguing about but in my case it did become my upper limit number.
My issue is not with a particular price point it's with the obvious price fixing being done by the publishing industry. it should be noted that not all publishers participate in "agency pricing/fixed pricing" and those that don't should be rewarded.
I have no argument that an author should be able to get whatever price a free market is willing to pay, but, "agency pricing" is not an example of a free market pricing, is it?
I can say "agency pricing" has in my case liberated me. As a direct result of agency pricing I have discovered Independent authors and renewed my love of public domain sites. As a direct consequence, I now, as previously stated by another commenter read more and pay less and as a result enjoy my reader more than ever.
