If you don't want to pay $15, then wait a few months. Sort of like not buying the hardback, and waiting for the paperback.

A bit of logic and consistency in ebook pricing is welcome, IMO. And there certainly is nothing stopping smaller publishers from selling their books for less if they prefer.
I have found many, many titles that have been out in paperback for $7.99 or less for more than a year that sell for over $15.00 in ebook form. I know some of them are Macmillan titles. If this is how they will be handling their dynamic pricing, I for one am not interested in buying their books.
