This is pure speculation; I have no facts for or against that idea.


Frankly I think it's Amazon's pricing given that they have the List Pricing crossed out. Maybe there is some deal where Amazon can't drop the price until a certain time? Seems dumb though.


Amazon does not set the price of ebooks anymore. The publishers do.

I will not pay $15 for an Ebook, I'll just go back to buying secondhand.....which benefits the publisher zero dollars. Their greed has forced me out of the realms fiction for this long, I can now stay where I am a few years behind and save my former realms budget for a tesla 3


The problem with the $15 pricing is I think it might hurt newer authors. I probably wouldn't pay that if I am not sure I will like the author or the book (I'd wait for the paperback to bring the ebook price down). However, for an author I know and like I am perfectly willing to pay this (although the old amazon pricing of $9.99 was better for my budget).
