I guess it is the pre-order price guarantee thing.
Amazon prices fluctuate all the time. When a book is released you pay the lowest price that took place from the moment you pre-ordered it till the moment it became available for download/was sent to you.

P.S. if ebook prices do fluctuate like printed books'.
