Readers - What Will You Pay For An eBook?
The high and the low of eBook pricing.
When I put my
first novel up as an eBook, I priced it high because of its length. Now that my
second novel, Relative Malice, has just been released, I’m wondering once more
about what to charge for it.
Do I reduce novel
#1 now that the new one is out? Should I bring down the price of both books?
Many people advise not charging more than 2.99 for an eBook, and many readers say
they will not pay more than $2.99 for one.
I need your help.
I’d love some input from both authors and readers on the following questions.
1.
Do you believe $2.99 is as high as any eBook
should be priced?
2.
Are you only wiling to pay more for a book
written by a famous author?
3.
Should older releases by an author be priced
lower than newer ones?
4.
Do you pass up books priced at 99 cents for
those that are free?
5.
Are free books worth a look-see?
6.
How often do you find a gem among the free
offerings?
Dear Readers,
Please take a minute to express
your opinions. Pricing is an issue many authors are struggling with. My spouse
keeps telling me that a quality product should be priced accordingly, and I
keep telling him the eBook market is a new dog on the block. No one knows for
sure what it is or how friendly it’s going to be!
Hope all of you had a loving
Valentine’s Day.
Thanks for your help,
Marla
