Do you care to share the link for that price? Or the browser that you used that you said made the price different? I still can't find it lower than 9.99. If Amazon is indeed selling that title lower than other retailers, those retailers get …

Let's not keep building this strawman and stick to the relevant case and facts. Quote: Cite a source that "eBook prices have risen" before making such a sweeping statement. There has been NO evidence presented that …

Apple already 'lost' this case when three of the five publishers agreed to settle. At this point, Apple is just wasting money when it should settle and cut its losses. Why has it already lost? Holding high prices with the agency model only works …
