Well, Kindle customer may make a point of not paying $9.99 for their e-books. I wonder how long it will take before authors can't afford to keep writing on the income garnered from such sales.
Don't forget, part of the point of the Macmillan situation was that Macmillan wanted to set price points along a range up to $15; they didn't want to sell everything at $15. And I bet that Kindle users will be willing to pay for certain books at that price as the market develops, as the capabilities of e-book readers develop, and as publishers develop special features only available on e-books. I'd bet money that last one's coming. It's only a matter of time.
