Yep! Things I ignore at $14.99, I sample 1st at $9.99, and would probably just buy on impulse for $5.99 - Ken Kennedy

Exactly. I'm going to go through the stats of every single ebook I've purchased (Kindle store, Pragmatic Programmers), and look at the price and whether or not it was an impulse buy and if I'd ever have bought it otherwise. - Dave Slusher
