So what you're saying is that you are a skinflint, a miser, a Scrooge, a tightwad, stop me somewhere along the line.
There is almost no way anyone will go with this pricing plan. No matter how much sales would go up, authors would go through the roof if they were told their royalties will drop from $2.50 a book to 25¢, especially since it's unlikely sales will increase enough to compensate everyone for the lost revenues.
Seriously, all you're doing is pricing yourself out of most of the market, especially if you're barely willing to pay anything
and refuse to deal with commercials. If you want free stuff, in almost every case it's getting subsidized by an advertiser.
There is quite a bit of cheap or free stuff out there. However, your options will be limited to the good graces of public domain and promotional offerings.
Another way to put it is:
Your business is barely worth having. So why should any content creator decimate their revenues to capture it...?
