Jeppesen- no more Express Packs?

Just stopped by my friendly local chart agent and they told me that Jeppesen
isn't offering dealer pricing anymore, so the only way I can get Jepp plates
is through a subscription.

AFAICT from their site, my only option (I'm based at BED near BOS) is to buy
a subscription that covers the Eastern half of the country at an annual cost
of $500ish. Or of course switch to NOAA plates, which i don't like nearly as
much.

Am I the only one who's hearing this?

Best,
