Actually, he's kind of right.

A lot of publishers now are not running MMPB's for "newer" stuff, instead opting to go PB at $12 to $15. For the few books that hit it big, they go MMPB , but most of them I've seen are from $9.99 to $11.99.

Every single author on my "list" who is releasing a MMPB this year is at $9.99.

A few are at $11.99 for MMPB.
