Personally I think this is a stupid idea, boost the price of the books and and the piracy will explode, put books at 5$ and people will actually buy the books.

This is the kind of stuff where you need a price that does not "matter" on the wallet. Amazon and publishers are just too much greedy, the authors does not really make more money with that kind of pricing, it's still just the big guys that make(want) more money.
