Agreed, which could be what they are doing, raising the price and keeping the price high are pretty indistinguishable from a buyers point of view.
Essentially as the ebook market currently stands and the way things are trending it looks particularly grim for the BPH.

There is a difference between rock-bottom prices where you can squeeze out a few more $$ through undercutting a competitor (unless that is you too), versus keeping prices high at a price point that discourages casual buying. They might decide to only read 9 books that year!
