From what I've seen, if two points-eligible books have the same list price (undiscounted price) then they always have the same points price, regardless of the final discounted price. But if you compare discountable and non-discountable books at the same discounted price, the non-discountable ones usually need fewer points because they have a lower list price. For example:

Perhaps I did not make it clear in my comment. I believe the price of the book in points is based on the current non-VIP price. When I was mentioning the Open Road Media books, I was using the non-VIP price. In your screenshot examples, you were comparing a VIP price reduced book to a book. I think that if you were to look at a book that normally sold for $14.99, but was on a one-day publisher sale for $7.99, non-VIP price, the number of points needed would be the same as a book normally sold for $7.99.
