Even knowing how much time and effort goes into the finished product I can not see any reason for an Ebook to cost that much. A real book sure; paper, ink, shipping, staff etc., all have to get paid. I'm ok with that, I applaud it even. But, an Ebook, no that is just messed up. Serves them right. I feel for the authors who lose out on payment, but I can't wait to see kindle, googlebooks, and nook crash and burn.

I think an e-book should be around 1/4 to no more than 1/2 the price of a paperback if they are both out. If it is only available in e-book format, then I can see a higher price. I doubt the e-book format will leave though. I don't care for them, although I think the technology is great, but I know a number of people who do. If it is a technical book, in any trade or profession, just think of all the resources a person has at their finger tips. And I do like the special features they have where you can click on any word and it gives you the definition. That being said, I will always be a physical copy person. I like to browse art work, layout, reviews, and the synopsis in the books themselves. |
