The content of a book can cause it to be worth more than an even better formatted, better edited similar title. For instance: A book written in prison, actually a 700,000 word epic trilogy, written in longhand in a maximum security prison cell in Texas by a convict with a HS diploma and a violent prison record is worth something extra just for the simple fact that you can't read that kind of material every day-- A note to the editors reading this, that was a run on sentence. Something us uneducated writers of nine full length novels and sixty short stories, do all the time-- when you read something so rare as the kind of epic I am speaking of and find that it is in fact good (even though it had flaws, but is exactly what it is supposed to be) You'll understand that paying 9.88 for it was a bargain for you, because this book was written by a convict nut case, not about one. And you can buy a thousand books for
.99 and never get to know that the person who wrote it was really sitting in a dungeon with a gross of crappy prison issued ink pens writing it.
So there is a reason for some ebooks to be relativly expensive. Just my .03 cents
