This week an ebook came out by an author I have read for years. If it woud have been released in the under $10 price, it would have been an automatic buy. Since it came out at $12.99, it is on my wishlist. Possible, I will buy it later after I have finished some of the books on my TBR list. But probably, I will check it out of the library and will read it. There is a good chance I will not bother buying it after that, since it may not meet my expectations. This is a lost sale when it would have been a definite sale at a slightly lower price. Agency pricing often fails in my case.
