Amazon UK typically charge around £9-10 for ebooks that are only available in hardback; this generally falls to about £3-5 once the paperback is released.

It should be noted that Amazon's $9.99 price point was not for all books, but for a very small subset of them: those on the NYT best-seller list.
Noted, Harry.

At the lowest price point of $14.99 we seem to be talking books available as MMPB. Discounts later are of course at the discretion of the publisher.
