By the way, I see End of Eternity is now $9.99 so perhaps your letter had some effect.

Hmmm... and most of the other Asimov back list titles remain above $9.99.
I wonder if writing/emailing about a pricing issue with a
specific title could produce this effect on more titles. From the publisher's standpoint, dropping the price on one title is no big deal, but does produce a happy customer - who will presumably buy the ebook, and tell his friends, or post it for the world to read.
It would be interesting to try this approach again - with Macmillan (who is apparently now sensitive to labels of "greed") - and other publishers - in particular reference to back list titles issued as ebooks priced higher than the paperbook version. Perhaps pointing out the disparity between paperbook and ebook pricing can prompt reductions in other titles as well.
