List price means nothing anyway. I'm talking actual sale price.

Besides it hasn't even happened, how do you know what they are going to do. Hell they are already talking about not even releasing the ebook til much later. Clearly they don't want their ebooks in libraries. What else?
Clearly you're not actually reading what they're saying.

Here's the exact quote from John Sargent:

Quote:
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.
You got one thing right: at the time of initial release, the ebooks will be priced higher than $9.99. You have, however, completely, 100% misrepresented everything else about the deal:

1. Ebooks will not be sold at the same price as hardcovers.
2. There will be no windowing, except in rare instances.
3. The price of the ebooks will decrease over time.
