That's only for the self-publishing program (dtp.amazon.com). They haven't stated what it is with other publishers, I think.
Also note that on release the 9.99 pricepoint was emphasized specifically for NYT bestsellers. Complaining that a $50 java book isn't selling for $9.99 on kindle seems a bit unreasonable to me, though - expensive programming/reference books probably make up a lot of those in the tech and nonfiction categories, and many of those are hugely expensive. Now reducing prices on all the books available in paperback for less though would be nice and that's where I think there's a good argument.
