I have not been a fan of Macmillan for ebooks, but they do seem to have tied themselves very publicly to a new model of pricing where ebooks start at $14.99 and $12.99 and go down over time to perhaps less than the paperback price ($5.99). If this was only Macmillan I would be deeply sceptical, but if 5 of the top 6 US publishers use the same approach ebook buyers will come to expect it.
