If you are looking to publish eBooks from somewhat unknown authors, don't price yourself too high or they won't sell.

Also, the cover is important. If it looks like it was slapped together in Photoshop by a 5-year old, then a lot of people won't bother to read the blurb. Some of the covers on your site are not good enough to bother to get past it. One in pa[i]rticular is Red. The cover is awful.
Next worst is Purple followed by Black. They just don't work. Treasure Quest of the Third Reich has a problem with the cover. When any of the letters run into the Star of David, they lose contrast and are difficult to read. Some of the others are just of poor contrast. Take a look at how well they can be read at the size you show next to the blurbs and you'll see what I mean.

Also, there's no way to actually buy any of these eBooks. Plus, there's no price listed.
