Amazon.co.uk Says it will Fight Agency Pricing

theBookseller.com: "Amazon.co.uk has hit out over agency pricing telling Kindle customers that it 'will continue to fight against higher prices for e-books', and has urged publishers 'not to needlessly impose price increases on consumers'. It has also revealed that for those publishers who have adopted the agency model in the US the rate of growth in e-book 'unit sales' is now 'half the rate of growth of the rest of Kindle book sales'."
