Given the frequency of one day $1.99 and $2.99 ebook sales I would say that the publishers do spare some thought for those of us who want the most books for the least cost, if only as a useful way to push ebooks higher up the rankings.
As someone who has wide tastes and little money such sales have been a useful way to fill out my library particularly particularly when it comes to non-fiction which is normally priced outside my budget.
