The description now includes a line in the buy now page saying "This item's price is set by the publisher and is not subject to discount or rewards specials."
The book I've just bought didn't give me any reward dollars, but I could use previously earned reward dollars against it.
Pricing still looks odd --
E.g. The Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner --
Book 4 - newly released - Conspiracy of Kings - Ebook $9.99, cheapest pbook=hardback:list price $16.99
Book 3 - King of Attolia - Ebook $10.99, cheapest pbook=paperback:list price $7.99
Book 2 - Queen of Attolia - Ebook $4.99, cheapest pbook=paperback:list price $6.99
Book 1 - The Thief - Ebook $10.99, cheapest pbook=paperback:list price $ 6.99
E.g. Discworld Series
Guards Guards - Ebook $9.99
Hogfather- Ebook $6.99
Moving Pictures- Ebook $10.99
Monstrous Regiment - Ebook $7.99
Reaper Man - Ebook - $5.99
Sourcery - Ebook $10.99
All the paperbacks have a list price of $7.99. People who know the series will know that none of the books I checked are recent releases.
All the ebooks listed above now have the price-set-by-publisher text at Books on Board

Oh the joy
seems like people who said they would cost more than the pback copy were right!
seems like those who said they would be cheaper than the Pback copy were right!
I wonder if its in effect a survey? eg similiar age books by same author see which makes most money? ebook at $5.99 Reaper man or moving pictures at $10.99 then in three months shift prices to whichever price band] has made most profit?
