Dear Mr. Read,

I believe that the DOJ’s proposed settlement regarding e-book pricing is not in the public interest. By selling e-books below cost, Amazon’s pricing 
will result in a less diverse range of titles being published & a diminished range of publishers. I value independent bookstores & feel that, without
 the Agency Model of pricing, Amazon will be handed a monopoly. That will certainly not be in the public interest.
						
Thank you for your consideration
