Amazon stopped discounting?

[pbray]

Was on Amazon.com this morning and noticed that they are no longer discounting new massmarket paperbacks. A quick search confirmed that there seems to be a new policy--hardcovers and tradepaperbacks are discounted, massmarket is not.

Anyone else noticed this? As far as I can tell this is a recent phenomenon.

Most stores don't discount mass markets anymore either.

True, most of the big chains no longer discount massmarket paperbacks unless you're enrolled in one of their discount programs, such as Barnes & Noble's membership card where you pay $25 a year and then get 10% off.
