Why on earth do you imagine any of their subscribers are going to care about $15, $18 or $30 a month? That's a pittance to the overwhelming majority of their subscribers and target audience.

The opportunity costs of calculating the price difference is more expensive for those people than just paying the annual price.
The Kindle edition has 114 one star reviews (out of 225 reviews total). All the ones I checked complained about the price. I'd say price is pretty important.
