“As a result of the pricing conspiracy, prices of e-books have exploded, jumping as much as 50 percent. When an e-book version of a best-seller costs close to – or even more than – its hard-copy counterpart, it doesn’t take a forensic economist to see that this is evidence of market manipulation.”

I hate Agency pricing, but I haven't noticed overpriced "hardback" books. Even though they been priced higher than the previous 9.99 "sweet-spot", I haven't noticed pricing on ebooks with only hardback equivalents to be priced more than the print books...even when some offer the hardbacks on sale.
It's the paperback book pricing that drives me batty.
