I'd buy if it's below €15. If I'd really, really, really want the book, I'd buy above the €15.
No. No. No. No. No. Don't you *get* it? If you state that 15 euros is your 'base acceptable price', the publishers *will* release the crap and garbage at 15 euros and ramp up rapidly for the decent-to-good stuff! That means we end up paying like 30 euros for good authors - without a signed hardcover to go with!

$9.99 is my *MAXIMUM* price I'll pay for a fiction ebook! Decent ebooks had better run around $7.99 and the garbage-to-crap had better be weighing in at around $3.99! (That's before VAT, sales tax or whatever 'rip-off' your local government steals from you. )
