It's exactly the approach that's needed for backlist ebooks. Price them to sell and market them in a variety of ways to different consumer audiences. It might be as simple as $8 a title but "This weekend say Yes to Dr. No: Treat yourself to an Amazon Bond Four Pack for $17.95".
I got to "The Spy Who Loved Me". Book 10 out of 14. Then I bought an ereader.
