The Price D: $5.99
So, I've made my decision on the eBook's final listing price: I'm sticking with $5.99.
Why? Well, I recently purchased two pretty amazing eBooks for $5. The first, Sergio De la Pava's "A Naked Singularity," was originally independently published before U of Chicago Press picked it up. In a sense, it's about a public defender. In another sense, it's about everything and nothing. The reviews and recs have me really amped for it.
The second, "3:41," was recommended via Twitter. It's about a distance runner's battle against early onset Alzheimer's. He uses notes, a video recorder, and a friendly ex-wife to try and continue to train as a pro athlete and run the fastest mile ever. It's still independently published, but don't expect it to remain that way for long.
So, if these two great novels only cost $5, I'm comfortable with my modest soccer history book costing $6. Margins be damned!

You said on the last post that I should charge more than six dollars! But, alas, as a Kickstarter Backer, I already have your money, which I have reduced to nickles in jars in my study and count each and every night. All the while, you pine for the book.......
