It's clear that those who didn't understand pricing and marketing strategies the first time round still don't understand them, and probably don't want to do so.
I have one question for the OP:
What did you do before ebooks? Did you page through the
Sunday Review, see the little sidebar with the $25 pricetag and move on? Why should things be different now?
This is just another example of MobileRead navel-gazing. Why should publishers be worried about losing your precious $9.99 when there are others who value books more and are prepared to pay more?
