That been the question size agency pricing came into being. I just wish we had the answer.

Not all ebooks are sold under the agency model. There are price tiers in the non agency model market as well, which is to be expected, so at least in the ebook only market, we see a couple of different business models that lead to different price points. Authors who produce 2 or 3 books a year tend to go with the higher price model while authors who produce new books every month or two tend to go for the lower price points. Note, I am talking about authors who have enough of a track record to be recognizable and have enough popularity to make money at it. Based on the books that I've been buying, the less prolific authors tend to be getting pretty close to the agency book prices, if we are talking about books that are out in paper rather than hardback.
