Before the publishers price fixing I think prices used to drop, but I don't remember for sure. That could be what changed.

I generally only compare the prices when I read a thread like this. When I'm looking to buy a book, it doesn't matter to me if the price of an edition I won't read is cheaper than an edition I will read. Of course, that doesn't mean that I will just buy any ebook no matter the price--I would have to have a pretty urgent need for a book to pay more than a certain amount for it. The meaning of "certain amount" changes based on how much discretionary income I have at the moment, and how new the book is. For a new release, I will pay more than for a backlist book, but I probably wouldn't pay more than $15. I can't think of any book that I've EVER paid more than $15 for. (not counting textbooks...those are a whole 'nother animal)
