That's true of pretty much anything. Where there are many examples of people quitting there job after putting a $.99 app on the Apple iOS store there are problem 1000 devs that have done the same thing and made less than $10 after a year.

Also, just because there are thousands of free apps in that store doesn't keep people from paying for the $9.99 ones. however, many do consider an iOS app that cost more than $1.99 over priced.

That's just the way the market works. Why do we think ebooks (books even) will be any different?
