Personally I am a fan of a number of series of books and for them all to be priced between 8.99 and 14.99 +/- depending on where I look per book and this is e-book prices (paperbacks are more exp but only marginally.) I don't think it fair of the publishers to go hey sure you read the first book now heres book two and its 7.99 for the e-book and the paperback is the same price. e-books are convenient for me as I don't have a lot of house space otherwise they'd be stacked everywhere and money isn't always plentiful and I think this is a common occurrence right now so if there's 8 books in a series and I've got the first one that means I have 7 more to buy now if I have the first one in paper back and decide I want them all in ebook format I now have to pay 7.99 * 8 books. And yes I could buy them one at a time but I would rather have them all at once. My total purchase would be $63.92 not taking into account taxes at the point of sale. In theory I wouldn't mind this if they had sales on bundles of series say books 1 - 3 for $15 - $20 as a permanent buy. This is reasonable and sometimes they do but not always and not always for the author(s) I'm reading and if they do it's for a short time. I question weather or not the publishers are going to wise up. Either way I am happy with what I have but it would be nice to see them more reasonably priced renting is a fair option that I'm not opposed to either.
