Ironic that Apple is the one forcing Amazon's hand for not allowing publishers to use the agency model. Steve Jobs went to war with the record labels when they wanted the same thing as Macmillan. Even better is that Amazon went agency for their music sales which put a kink in Apple's plans and caused them to introduce flex pricing and DRM free content. This is all the result of two egos duking it out. Fun to watch.
