I agree to an extent
I think that if somebody is just looking for a book to read and they glance at the top 10 of the NYT Bestseller list and see 7 priced at $9.99 and 3 priced at $14.99 - my guess is the lower priced books will sell.
I made the prediction back in 2010 that Agency pricing was never going to keep prices high - not because of the illegality of it but simply because of the absolute flood of low priced books coming online.
In my opinion that doesn't change now. I really believe that as more and more people discover they don't have to buy $15 books to find a good book, that is when the true Publishing revolution will begin.
