A minor clarification:
I'm not talking about pricing a book at $0.99 as a promotional/visibility enhancement mechhanism. But more along the line of list-pricing it straight to $0.99. And I'm talking novels and equivalent; not novelas or short-story "ebooks".
With that caveat, one would *hope* that you are typical of the heavy reader breed.
It would lead to a more rational ebook marketplace where quality writers with a decent backlist have a hope of earning a decent living. I do think that having a strong, deep backlist is going to be key, though. (Which, alas does not bode well for the Sterling Lanier's of the world.)
