I, and many other independent authors, weighed the factors above and decided that a higher, but not too high, amount, was a good solution. Many authors go with a price below $5; for me, $2.99 was a good price.

It indicates that, yes, we believe our work is worth a reasonable amount of money; but we are also mindful of the need to be noticed next to the books sold by the major publishers, which tend to start at about $7 and work their way up; and we are mindful of the image a "cheap" book presents.

Unfortunately, if you're trying to sell books, you must look at it as a marketer, and decide which will work best for you. The strategy many independents chose may not be the right one for you, and as has been demonstrated, when it comes to independents and ebooks, there is no sure-fire method of promotion.
