But it is unethical, especially when you can buy my books, and many terrific novels, for $2.99

The Sex Club, now only $.99!
Is The Sex Club the first book in the Jackson series?

I think the important thing is to get your name and books out into the wild, where they can develop word-of-mouth. You may lose some sales in the short run but you will also pique interest in people who are willing to pay a reasonable price (which yours certainly are) for an ebook.
