They could have gathered those sort of statistics for multiple books, and that makes it a worthwhile trend to make note of. They might not have given explicit indication that those were indeed the sort of statistics they're employing, but the converse is true too - I see no reason to automatically assume that they're employing useless statistics. I see no reason to not believe that the same book priced lower would yield greater sales than if it were priced higher. Does one really even need a record of statistics to be convinced of it? If the reverse is true, and sales at 14.99 yield greater profits than sales at 9.99, why isn't Amazon pushing for the greater pricing instead?
