Bolding mine; I don't think it is too much to infer from that MMPB originals will start out at a lesser price. I agree that to do otherwise is not a good idea.
The ommission of how mass markets are going to be priced combined with their history makes me very worried. And individual pricing sounds an awful lot to me like "we're going to charge whatever we want for a book, and if we think it's going to be popular, we're going to jack up the price."
