This old blog post of mine needs a refresh, but there's nothing magical or permanent about $9.99: the average price of an e-book bestseller (= Amazon Top 100) has been trending down roughly by a dollar a year, and was already at $7 last year. Likewise, the share of $5 books in the top 100 is already close to 50%.

Some crappy code for pulling these stats from Amazon:
