Um, isn't that the gist of the press release in the OP in Amazon's statement? That they want ebooks priced at $9.99 or less except in specialized cases?
"Any author who's trying to get on one of the national bestseller lists should insist to their publisher that their e-book be priced at $9.99 or lower."
"Is it Amazon's position that all e-books should be $9.99 or less? No, we accept that there will be legitimate reasons for a small number of specialized titles to be above $9.99."
All I'm saying to those who say Amazon shouldn't be able to dictate the price is that isn't Amazon's retail site to do with what they will? As it is Hachette's right to say, no, we want $14.99?
