i'm merely a reader but i've been buying ebooks long enough to form my personal guidelines on pricing.

i won't pay for any short story. imo they should be a free taste of your work. nor will i ever pay for samples, thats just ludicrous.

i'm willing to pay 99 cents for a novella, maybe as much as $2 if i know the author. anything more than that and its not worth it to me.

for novels, no more than $3 for a first time author. i think thats a nice fair price. i see some first timers charging $8-$10 for their books and i openly laugh at them and remove them from my recommendations. i won't even pay $10 for bestselling authors so an indie certainly won't see those bucks from me. i'll pay $5 or $6 if its an indie author i love.

take it or leave it, i just wanted to give the perspective of a buyer.

print is a different story. i'm willing to pay a fair price for an indie paperback, even if i'm unfamiliar with the author.
