All right, so this tells me how much the author gets per reader for such prices book. But is it important measurement for authors or readers?

Perhaps such priced ebooks get 10 times more downloads than ebooks priced at 0.99$, and consequently author gets 5 times more money in the same time frame? And more people will get his book too. I miss comparison of number of downloads of the same books with 2 pricing models in the same time frame - though probably it's not easy to get such data.
