Yes, for New York Times Bestsellers. Ian Fleming's somewhat dated Bond novels are
not in that class -- and there are 14 of them. The estate should certainly do some price elasticity testing but their goal is to sell as many copies of as many titles as possible. A more realistic price, relative to current blockbusters, is more likely to maximise sales by encouraging volume.
JA Konrath has already plainly demonstrated how much better he is employing an ebook model with a higher royalty and lower price than trying to sell stuff at $10 or more.
