Amazon quietly began selling books in its brick-and-mortar Seattle store, Amazon Books, at list price early this fall. When the store opened last November, all books were sold at Amazon.com’s prices–often significantly less than the publisher-set list prices. With Amazon’s recent phase-out of list prices site-wide, the discrepancy is likely to continue.
