It apparently is. Because I distinctly remember wondering where all of these $9.99 ebooks that people were talking about WERE, after I purchased my first Kindle for $300+. Oh I came across them here and there, but when you strayed any distance from the very top of the Times Best Seller List, those $9.99 books were pretty scarce.
(either that or I can SEE the purchase price/date for every ebook I ever bought from Amazon on my account page, and don't have to rely on memory)

Brimstone - Robert B. Parker (purchased for $14.99 on 5/10/2009)
The Red Wolf Conspiracy - Robert V.S. Redick ($11 on 6/19/2009)
The Child Thief - Brom ($14.25 on 9/17/2009)

I'll stop there, as I believe I'm getting close to when agency pricing started taking root (and my new-book purchasing dropped off).
