It makes me wonder how much better off they'd be if their prices were lower.

Sell 10,000 ebooks at $14 each = $140,000
Sell 20,000 ebooks at $10 each = $200,000
Doesn't that depend how much profit they're making per book? If the book is costing them $11, then:

Sell 10,000 ebooks at $14 each = $30,000 profit
Sell 20,000 ebooks at $10 each = $20,000 loss

I'm not suggesting that it does cost $11, of course, but there's more to it than you suggest.
