In a 2012 presentation, Mr. Johnson, then still Penney's CEO, said the company was selling fewer than one out of every 500 items at full price.

I'm a library borrower, not a book buyer. But on the rare occasion I do buy a book, I have gotten used to getting a JC-Penney style mega discount. Maybe Amazon should try charging the eBook at the hardback list price for first couple of weeks after release, and afterwards mark it down by 60 percent or so. Then, vary prices a little every week, just like an airline, so eBook bargain hunters can feel they got an unusually good deal, just as do paper book buyers.
Maybe I should have taken out a business process patent on this before posting
