This proves that, as consumers, we do have the power to influence pricing.

That may be true in this case, but it's hard to say. It's been the policy of a few Agency publishers to drop the price of the ebook (usually from $14.99 to $12.99) once that book is on the NY Times Bestseller list. Not sure if Hachette is one of those publishers or not.
