To be fair, they don't really need to say it. If prices go up, I will stop buying the ebooks with those prices. I'll pay up to $5-6 for a book currently that I fancy reading and at most $9.99 if it's an author I know and love to read.
If all the publishers follow suit, then that'll put an end to my days reading best sellers.

I hope more authors start to sell directly from their websites at reasonable prices and through non exclusive deals with as many online retailers as they can get their hands on. Those are the authors who will be getting my money in the future if ebook pricing isn't sorted out (in fact they're the authors getting my money right now, as most existing ebook prices are outside what I'm willing to pay).
