The curiosity is whether this information will generate an artificial price escalation - an ebook bubble? That is: if the stats indicate that people are using price as a form of selection filter, then maybe the current freebies will try raising their prices to get in on the act. Thus, for the user selection filter to continue to work, they will have to look at higher prices ... and so on. It may become cheaper to buy from traditional publishers.
