eBooks, even at $12.99 to $14.99 are already cheaper than hard back books. Someone switching from buying hardbacks to ebooks, even at the Agency 5 pricing, reading the same amount, would see a decline in per user sales volume (price * units).
There's nothing in that article that says "after pricing on Agency 5 books rose, sales of those books plummeted, while sales of books at $5 increased". We don't know what we don't know, and the numbers have not been provided to tell us if the decrease in per user ebook buying is simply the result of ebooks being cheaper than hard backs.
