This new model is not starting until March. I wouldn't get upset about it until it is implemented.
I am hoping for a definitive statement, but I do not think it unreasonable to infer from Sargent's statement that the prices will drop over time. That's pretty much what it says.

Our plan is to price the digital edition of most adult trade books in a price range from $14.99 to $5.99. At first release, concurrent with a hardcover, most titles will be priced between $14.99 and $12.99. E books will almost always appear day on date with the physical edition. Pricing will be dynamic over time.

I don't know how that can be interpreted any other way. I understand the mistrust, but I maintain that if the price DOES drop, boycotts make little sense.
