Some may but probably not the majority.

Realistically, $12.99 down to $9.99 is $3. Is that $3 a big difference for the average reader? One book a month person? Even for the heavier readers that may save $12/month?

The library and used book prices will still be lower than Amazon's new prices. $9.99 or 50 cents or free?

I think it's more of a psychological barrier than a financial one for many people.
