Of the current top 10 selling eBooks on Amazon, 9 are less than $10, and the other one is a trilogy compilation, priced at less than $10 per book.

8 of the top 10 selling SF&F are below $10, and one of the others is a 4 book collection at less than $10 per book.

All of the top 10 selling Romance books are below $10.

6 of the top 10 selling Literary Fiction books are below $10.

5 of the top 10 selling Mystery and Thriller books are below $10.

It seems to me that lower priced books sell better than higher priced ones, which shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Have eBooks sales gone through the roof for agency-priced books at $13-$15?
