$10 is just as dumb and arbitrary. To assume that some of the obscure, well researched non-fiction that I enjoy will sell many more copies simply because the price is lower is naive.
The answer is no price control. Forecast demand, costs and what an acceptable return on the book is. Then let the market sort it out. If that's $1 or $100, so be it.
In the end the publishers no longer matter; it's all about distribution.

Many forms of non-fiction have always gone for more, even when Amazon set the price prior to the whole agency model. I know tech books I expect to pay a good chunk more even on sale, as well as my other hobbies (writing books have eaten up so much of my money...)
