An initially high price when the book is new, gradually reducing to pick up the long tail of buyers, makes sense. A fixed price which never changes doesn't.

Not really. Whether publishers like it or not ebooks are here to stay and if they were stupid enough to stop producing them then piracy would truly go through the roof!
No matter what they tried to do to stop or slow down mp3s it didn't work, so eventually they caved & started making the option available drm free & at lower prices.
If they want to repeat the same mistakes with ebooks, there are people out there who are more than willing to repeat the same lessons to get publishers to see the light.
