$5 ebooks are very much on the table. Lots and lots of ebooks at that  
price point, and even lower, are around.

(Hey, even my own recent release, The Profitable Publisher, is priced  
at $4.99 on the Kindle and elsewhere. Of course, it's a little less  
than 50 page-equivalents long, but it's also emphatically not mass- 
market!)
