The reality of the market place those is that a higher unit prices doesn't mean more sales/profit. There is an art to pricing a product to maximize profits.... sometimes a higher price is better and sometimes a lower price.

Frankly, I don't care what books a certain book is priced at. I will decide on a case by case basis what I want to buy and what I am willing to pay for it.

For me, right now, paying more than $10 for a "fiction" ebook is not ever worth it.. considering the hundreds of thousands of books out there. Of course, a technical book is a different story. Those are investments if you can learn/earn money from the info they contain.
