GoG and Steam have more than tripled my purchasing (and many other people's purchasing) of games by reducing prices. Look at the billions of dollars that Apple has made by radically reducing the app price. It's very rare that I ever spend more than $9.99 for an App these days, even though it might be something that I spend hundreds of hours a year with.

Amazon is competing for my leisure time with Apps, Netflix, etc.. It's no wonder that higher priced books are losing out.
