Neil I think you should come down on the price a little. how about $3.99 for the ebook?

I bet a lot more people would buy it. I want to read it, but not for $9.99.

Think about it.

Aloha!

I see your reasoning (cheaper means more sales) but the books has 468 jampacked pages and it takes quite a while to read. That justifies a higher price to me.

I wrote this book with travelers/backpackers in mind and can see how people take it with them on a trip and read it there.

Neil, the market you are targeting, is the reason you should bring the price down a bit. I don't have a problem forking out 10 dollars for it. But I'm sure you know what cheepskates those backpackers can be.

That is a valid point.

$9.99 to a backpacker is like a weeks worth of food and hostels.

Maybe even a few giant bottles of water, some cargo shorts and Teva Sandals!

In all seriousness, at 500 pages, you could break it into 3 volumes.

Sell each one for $3.99.

1. You get more people reading your stuff.

2. You make more money if they read all three.

Win-Win.
