Even if they're not cheaper, though, they can still get the 5 copies of a new book and then not have to keep paying for 5 copies' worth after the initial "Best! Book! Ever!" period is up.
I do agree it's bogus and likely they'll either keep or raise current prices, though. "We're just charging extra to make sure your tubes aren't getting all clogged up with book pages!"
