Hi Liquid Gear,

The $0.99 price was an experiment that failed as I attempted to increase volume to help with my fundraising for public radio. Sales in the US literally halted as soon as the price decrease took effect. I stuck with it for a couple of weeks and then went back to the regular $2.99 price. Sales have been slow since then but at least they have existed. The US market especially seems to regard the $0.99 price point with suspicion. I have no idea where $4.99 is showing up since when I just checked Amazon it was $2.99.

For the next couple of days you can get Boomerang for free from Smashwords. Coupon code is in my previous post. I'm hoping to get feedback on the latest format tweaks before it rolls back out to B&N, Apple and others.

Sorry about the confusion.
