Publish and Demand

I self-publish, after a long and tortured relationship with publishers, and hundreds of rejection letters from agents, publishers and their ilk.

I’ve only read a handful of eBooks on an iPad, while I’ve digested a huge amount of content via the similar PDF formatted-texts on various computer screens.

Since I host and maintain a “direct to consumer” format for eTexts, I understand pricing versus bandwidth.

Kick-off here.

Personally?

I think 99 cents is about right.

    Interesting links. I buy quite a few books for 99 cents; very few for 9.99 and only one — so far — at 12.99. The highest priced books are not available to be borrowed by Amazon Prime members, but many of the tweeners are. The Los Angeles Public Library lends ebooks, but the selection is limited.

    I haven’t figured out the local public library’s eBook thing, but I keep looking for material that isn’t available online.

    I was intrigued with the price structure, and as much as I love little bookstores, I think the biggest shift needs to occur with the publishers….
