1) Aren't you skewing the stats by going around giving extra promotion to your e-book where you normally might not have at the $10.99 mark on the basis of its having an 80% discount?
This seems a bit unfair to your publishing company, since it essentially loads the data they get. Perhaps a better comparison would come a couple of weeks after this promotion has ended, and there was a quiet price drop with no formal announcement and relied on word of mouth for promotion on the book's actual reading merits, rather than just its cheapness this time around.
See how $10.99 sales after people had presumably read and talked about your $1.99 books stacked up against maybe a couple weeks' worth at the $4.99 you've been pushing for. They might be pleasantly surprised.
2) Someone else already showed up here last week and started a thread to
push this exact same "experiment".
They never returned after their one and only post ever (abandoning MR approximately 2 minutes after said post, according to their profile), despite the fact that a fair amount of discussion and further questions regarding it all and their exact involvement with ensued.
