I've got a fair number of Hachette titles. Bought when they seemed to me to be a reasonable price. All under $10. I could easily flush all future Hachette titles without breaking a sweat. If all the large publishers move in lockstep, I'm quite willing to flush them all.

Perhaps so, but when my favorite author comes out with a new book, that's the book I buy, not some random author whose book just happens to be a specific price point. Given that name authors might sell millions of copies and generic authors are lucky to sell 10-20 K, I'm thinking that there is more than just price at work.
