The articles fine, as far as it goes, but there's a lot more to the debate than just price - although I guess the $9.99 has become something of a flashpoint. If you've not read it yet, this article from Teleread (http://www.teleread.org/2010/02/06/the-amazonmacmillan-blow-up-an-e-book-lovers-appeal-for-understanding/#more-37750) covers some of the background to the anger that "ebook nuts" are feeling.
As for anger directed at authors, this is probably due to some authors giving the impression that they back Macmillan all the way, rather than thinking that authors have any control over price points.
