That's exactly what I'm saying. I don't know if they will actually reduce their prices enough for me to buy a Macmillan ebook (I haven't since the Tor Webscriptions experiment).
However, I do think it's extremely premature to say they won't do something in a new policy that differs from their current policy when the new policy isn't supposed to come into effect for two months yet.
People believe they are going to implement the part of the new and different policy that says they will raise prices, but not the part that says they will reduce prices. Remember, they did put a full page ad in Publisher's lunch saying they are going to be reducing prices over time. Macmillan has never said anything like that every before.
I say give them the benefit of the doubt and at least wait until they are supposed to put the policy into effect before saying they aren't doing it.
