According to the article, "
Amazon has tried to drive prices for best sellers down to $9.99, but the publishing industry has fought back."
The publishers are probably still thinking of eBooks as novelties for a small, niche market. Or, they may think they'll have to make up for their falling paper book sales with huge overheads on eBooks. Either way, I think they'll have to come down eventually, like CDs did after they became the primary market for music.
