After a brief protest late last week, Amazon now says it will give in and sell e-books from Macmillan at the higher prices the publisher has requested. “Macmillan, one of the ‘big six’ publishers, has clearly communicated to us that, regardless of our viewpoint, they are committed to switching to an agency model and charging $12.99 to $14.99 for e-book versions of bestsellers and most hardcover releases,” the Amazon Kindle team wrote in a note to customers in the Kindle Community forum on Sunday afternoon. Most Amazon Kindle e-books are priced closer to $9.99.
