"because the "agency model" encourages industry collusion." Wait what? Is there collusion in the digital app industry built from the ground up with the agency model? "As long as every agent in the industry is doing the same thing," Wait under which model were all ebooks, regardless of length, quality and demand were $9.99? Simple observation of what's happened since the agency model has come out should explode your notions that it's some price fixer's paradise. The top books in Amazon's Kindle store today are: 7.70 7.99 5.00 7.14 2.24 2.24 2.99 9.99 7.99 Most of the ones at the same-ish price point are from the same series/author/publisher. The agency model has been a huge boon for self-publishers and this is exploding price levels the industry has relied on for decades.
