True, but I suppose it is more effective if the store or whatever knows why people aren't buying certain products.
If books over $9.99 aren't selling they won't know if it's just less interest in those books vs others that cost less or that people are specifically not buying because of the price.
Now if they'd raised all new release prices then just not buying would work as if sales were down across the board they'd chalk it up to the price increase. But with just a few titles they have no way to know.
So while I don't care enough to bother, I can see the value of a boycott or people e-mailing amazon and saying they didn't buy __________ because it was over $9.99.
