Amazon is pretty happy to let publishers set the prices, just so long as people buy from Amazon.
Ok, it was December 25, 2013 when I got Dan Brown's Inferno for $2.99. Shortly before that they had the Da Vinci Code free. It was a publisher promotion. And yes, there is an excerpt from Inferno in that copy of the Da Vinci Code.
