What innovations are we losing from unique pricing?
I think it's abundantly clear that Amazon is using its size to make shipping be basically free. It's just about scale, it's not about offering particularly better service. It's the price of books. Of shipping!
If the internet will be destroyed by asking people to pay for shipping, it's honestly not that great.
I always feel a bit weird about these kind of piecemeal efforts, rather than a larger coherent movement with more well-defined goals around having values beyond shareholder value and.... cheapness. But Amazon charging 1 cent for shipping of books is blatlantly disregarding the spirit, intent, and I believe letter of the law on fixed pricing for books in France.
