Books-A-Million adds voice to oppose Dept. of Justice e-book price fixing deal
Jun 22 2012

If the restrictions on the agency model are upheld, it will “provide Amazon the opportunity to revert to its anti-competitive e-book pricing strategy which will place additional pressure on brick-and-mortar stores," Finley argued.
