Seems like everyone is playing with pricing these days when it comes to E-Book sales. The eternal question being, what's the optimum price for an E-Book, in particular a Kindle book, where myself and my publisher StoneHouseInk/StoneGateInk make the majority of our dough-ray-me (sp?).
Most of my in-print books are priced at $2.99, which I believe is a fair cost or, if you will, a fair trade with consumers (readers). You give me just short of three bucks and I give you a novel I made up all by myself. One of my books is a combo special edition with bestseller Aaron Patterson (Sweet Dreams/The Remains), and that's priced at $4.99 which is also a bargain 'cause you're getting two novels for less than 6 bucks. I'm not sure you can get a Big Mac, fries, large Coke, and chocolate shake for that price these days. Finally, another one of my novels, Moonlight Falls, is priced at 8.99, which I believe is too much for an E-Book. Why too much? I believe that part of the attraction of E-Books should be their price.
