I still dislike the new pricing scheme, as I believe it will cost me dearly when I'll be looking to buy newly released novels and because I strongly, very strongly, believe that ebooks should be cheaper than their dead trees counterparts. But still.

So it costs almost half the old price and is two-thirds the list price of the print edition. Sounds like the new system is working pretty well.
