I bought USD$2 with some of my ripples. I was indeed looking at it backwards. Lower prices are better, if you have a lot of ripples, because it's the price of USD/XRP. (Not the price of XRP/USD).
But now I have $2USD in my Ripple account, and it's just like the imaginary numbers in my bank ledger, without any insurance or other representation. And no obvious way to get it out. [Edit: I figured it out.]
