Amazon pulls Macmillan e-books

This is a story that seems to have roots that reach into iPad territory... Remember Jobs talking about all e-books would be the same price on iBooks and Amazon?

I'm not saying the books aren't worth that amount of money, I'm simply saying that when Apple was demanding $.99 per song and others wanted more "flexible" pricing, we defended the model there. $.99 makes most songs an impulse buy. Most games I find myself grabbing are right around $2.99. Finally for books, I use my monthly credit at Audible which is $15.00 to buy a book so clearly understand the value. But if the books were lower, I might get sucked into even more purchases. $8.99 each and I could see easily a second or possibly third purchase happening.
