I don't have an assumption that it will happen on Amazon across the board, but I do remember when it first launched (and was only/mostly a print book store), all print books were sold at a discount, including MMPB. I don't remember specifics much - I think it was 25%.

I remember a friend of mine calling me and telling me I just had to try it.

They eventually took the flat discount away on ALL books and only offered it for certain ones (or the buy 4 for 3 program on MMPB).

So there is *some* history of them offering lower prices to get you hooked, then raising the prices.
