It is kind of a hard question for me to answer
While there are many books that I feel are priced too high, I also find many that I feel are fairly priced and/or great bargains.
For instance - 2 of the free books this week by Alan Jacobson look really good and I see on the Books on The Knob blog this morning that the one Lisa Kleypas book that I don't own will probably be $2.99 soon since Sony has dropped their price.
So ... I have 3 books to read this weekend and I will have spent $3.
I will say one thing, it is extremely unlikely that any author will win me over as a new reader with a $12.99 or higher offering. I will occasionally buy an author I'm already attached to at those prices, but if I'm making a choice between unknowns that look interesting (and there are 100s of them out there) - the $5 or under book will win every time.
