All the earlier ebooks in the series, are around $9.20, except for first which is $8.49.
Now I know it is only just over 1 USD compared to what I paid for number 19, but there is a principle and a fear at stake going on. In fact, you could say I bought number 19 at that price due to the fear of its cost rising. However, it did fall around my $10 USD limit.
When you look at these novels, none are very long, so a small word count compared to the majority I buy. Word count and file size between 16, 17, 18 and 19 is not that different, so why is number 17 so much more in price?

While I don't agree with everything you've said, I am empathetic to your arguments.
But for this example, the guy has written at least 18 books you've considered worth a purchase. #17 is one dollar more than the rest. But then most of the books are under your ten dollar threshold. It seems like it might be fair to the author to let this one pass. As Roger Thornhill's mother said:
Pay the two dollars.
For what it's worth,
Precious and Grace is currently showing a price of $9.99 at Amazon US (I believe you said that is where you buy your ebooks).
Every book in the series is marked at the same price of $9.99 except for the first book ($7.99) and the latest book ($12.99).
