It's not a matter of better or worse, but different.
Hachette knows what happened to total sales of
The Silkworm when Amazon lowered the eBook price from $14.99 to $8.99. Amazon only knows what happened to sales at Amazon.com.
Amazon certainly has better data on how big is the negative effect on indie mystery sales the day they dramatically lower the prices of a few bestselling big publisher whodunits. Now there's a statistic you won't see them putting in a press release!
