I am in agreement with that it needs to be done properly. The 29.99 was just a vague figure that I used so pricing would probably be lower. We don't want to a business model like netflix or one of the other ones for I don't like the idea of renting an ebook unless it is a textbook for school where the individual would not need the book anymore after their class. Below are figures We came up with using the 29.99 model with having 2500 members for the first year and adding another 2500 members the second year. These numbers are just hypothetical and I know I will get a lot of different advice, but as I said before I would rather have the advice then none at all for it will help my group to work things through.
