Every publishing company and author have ideas about how to price well.

I don't have anything to add except:

with print books, initial prices are high and then they fall -- and are eventually remaindered. (I realize that print on demand is another story though).

With ebooks, initial prices are low and then they gradually settle on a fixed price -- at which they stay. To the early bird comes the worm.

Finally, I should mention that old print books more than 5 years old are often sold used for less than a dollar plus shipping. The Dirty little secret of pricing ebook versions of these books is that used print books are often cheaper than their ebook price.

I track a lot of prices on ereaderiq and I plan prices on my company's own ebooks. And I should say that there's less discounting than you'd expect, with the exception of maybe the first two months and KDP Select books going free once every 2 months.
