I'm not as bothered by the 6.99 rise, it's the move to using hardback/paper back and then mass paper back pricing that is the issue. That means for a given amount of time, the price of new releases will be significantly more expensive if I want to buy them.
I won't pay those prices so will have to wait until the mass market price point and by that time i've had ample opportunity to buy lots of other books and possibly lost interest in the latest release for a given series. Not always of course, but it has been the case for me in the past.
