Likely it would have been $9.99 at Amazon before the Agency fiasco and the current agency-type agreements. Whilst Amazon apparently gives incentives to price lower, it seems that the cartel is, at least for the moment, clinging to higher prices. It would be better if we did not validate this behaviour.
The reason I am against anyone buying eBooks from Apple is because of Apple, prices have gone up. Apple doesn't deserve to make any money from selling eBooks. (IMHO), Apple should have been banned from selling eBooks for at least a year.
