I have no problem with it either. "Fair" has nothing to do with it. I'm a photographer and a computer programmer. A significant portion (well, more accurately, a tiny bit of my income - it's significant to me, but not to my bank) of my income is from intellectual property.
People who produce art of any sort should feel free to price their work as they see fit. If the price is out of line, the marketplace will correct that mistake in time.

And readers can make decisions too: buy this or that, shop here or there, and vote with one's dollars. Is it "unfair" to Amazon if I buy something at Kobo for $9 that might be available at Amazon for $8 because I prefer the ePub format?
You can buy the series at kobobooks for CAN$4.09 each ... and enjoy the first one free from the author's site as per the OP link. That makes all three books average $2.72.  |
