At that point, you could happily withdraw the eBook from the market and begin negotiations. And if they refuse to meet your price, they would be forced to make their own eBooks...

Very, very bad idea. If you're lucky (really lucky), all they would do is demand you withdraw the books from the market. Most likely, however, you would get sued. Even if you somehow got really, really lucky and was able to settle the suit by agreeing to withdraw the books from the market (not likely; people are just too greedy), you still would be out your legal expenses. The old theory of it's easier to get forgiveness than it is to get permission just doesn't work here.
