Both paperback and e-book formats have some great books, and because of online retail sites, choosing a book and reading it in a minute has never been easier. E-books are ready to use, easy to transport and save on trees. One of the biggest considerations for readers at the time of purchase is that e-books are reasonably priced and are usually only a small part of the paperback version.
In addition to writers, I am also a prolific reader. To be honest, I still like to have a book in my hand, but I also have a huge e-book library. If some e-books want to buy and the price is too high, my collection will even be bigger. When I saw an e-book with more than $8, I continued to find another book at a reasonable price. The author may have hated manuscripts for many years, and his heart is full of love, but the competition for readers is fierce. If the price of this book is too high, few people will appreciate the hard work of the author.
You only need to look at an online retail website to see more comments on e-books in the $1 to $2.99 category, and those that cost around $10 are waiting for buyers' virtual shelves to languish. Comments are not the only criterion for measuring the popularity of a book - many of my readers have sent me an email but are too lazy to leave a comment on the public website - but you don't have to be a mathematician to find books and prices at higher prices. Compared to a reasonable e-book, e-books will attract fewer buyers. This is a simple economic issue. Unless the author has a group of loyal fans, they will pay any price to read her new work, otherwise readers will usually be cautious about their money when they buy books from authors they don't know.
I see that the author is priced at more than 100 pages, the price is $4 or higher, and the more substantial offer seems to be available for $2.99. The purchase price of your e-book does not reflect the quality of your work - it is more about competing in a very crowded space, and some authors are even prepared to give up their work. I don't agree with the strategy of providing books for free. People walking on that road seldom see any real bumps in buying books. Why do you have to pay when you can get something for free? If your book is worth reading, it is worth paying at the actual price.
Readers want to be able to buy e-books at a low price, so don't let them down, otherwise they will donate hard-earned money to another author who offers quality products. From a royalty perspective, the percentage of something is better than the percentage of anything.
