So big companies beware, there are others out there that will happily sell books a lower rate and eat up market share!

Doesn't this happen now? with physical copies?
Big publisher release a book from a big author at $20 and eventually lowers price to $9 and then $6 etc
Small publisher releases straight away at $6.
End result neing the small publishers are still small publishers.
the market shows us that people will pay $15 for a new book by a big author.
BoB and fictionwise do those prices NOW and are still in business.
