Okay: you're naive (or more likely just blindly on the side of Apple, given your posting habits).

This has nothing to do with "protecting" the customer. It has everything to do with publishers protecting their legacy business models and vehemently opposing anything that might cut into their profits. How has the customer benefited from the agency model (in addition to Apple's favoured nation clause)? Lots of choices of booksellers... who all charge the same (inflated) prices? Wow that's so awesome. How could I not want that?

E-book market got 'disrupted' by Apple's entry. Consumer's prices for e-books went up. Them's the facts, spin away.
