Only until they run out of people willing to pay the $18.99. How long has the book been selling as Kindle (obviously not 50 years)? If that turns out to be a long time you may like to read that as a message from the market: that's what lots of people think the e-book is worth. If you disagree ... well, they still offer you the cheaper, if less convenient to you, alternatives. Whether you happen like it or not, it's all quite democratic: one dollar one vote.
