What Macmillan and other publishers want to do is introduce the same kind of dynamic pricing that already exists with paper books. Books cost more when first released, and then the price will drop over time.
It may or may not work.

Well, that's not what they are doing now, and you expect me to trust that it will magically change after March? Get a life, my friend, you are dealing with a corporate entity, and they definitely don't have my interests in mind. I seriously doubt they will change pricing as they have described it. You will see an attempt to change the pricing for new releases, but I suspect the existing catalog will not change, or will change slowly over time (in MacMillons terms, in decades). I just don't have a lot of trust in these guys, sorry (look at their history).
