"Promptly," no. It takes about a year after the book is released for the ebook prices to drop -- it's currently linked to the paperback release.

For example: "Caught" by Harlan Coben (NYT Best Seller released last March) is currently $15, and the paperback will be released in a few weeks.

"Fantasy In Death" by JD Robb (NYT Best Seller last February) is now $7 in ebook, and $8 in paperback.

I don't know if anyone has actually tracked the prices on a large number of titles, though, which would be a far more accurate and useful measure.
