While it originally was clearly being acted on by Sony, they don't seem to be following-up on it anymore. At least not frequently. My last posted price didn't see any effect either. But that's pretty amazing that they were paying that much attention to what customers have to say in the first place, so we have to give them credit for acting at all.
On the other hand, the pricing can be really frustrating. Even small amounts (what's a few dollars on a book when you are paying $350 for the hardware in the first place) can really affect how we feel about buying at the store versus finding alternate content at PG or Baen or elsewhere.
But we're fortunate to have both options for the Reader. Buy new popular books at sometimes overpriced amounts, or find other good books elsewhere. And except for the crazy exceptions, the Connect prices to compare favorably to most other online e-book stores, so it's generally a good alternative.
