I'm interested in contributing and pledge to do so after 25 people contribute to the cause.

While I appreciate your enthusiasm for the project, you've copy-pasted this exact same text in all the 8 posts you have made so far in the past 3 hours since you apparently joined up and bumped up fairly old threads just so you could post that text.
You might want to rethink your promotional tactics, as this is a decided turn-off and I'd personally be very hesitant to be one of the 25 people needed to "contribute to the cause" in order to get you to pledge your help, especially if the contributions needed to be monetary.
My personal max is $5.28 USD for a book I bought by mistake with the intention of getting a sample and hitting the stupid no-confirmation-do-you-really-want-this 1-click button by error.
Aside from that, I've been lucky enough not to pay over $5 for almost all of my purchases, having bought with sale and coupon discount already generally low-priced genre backlist books which tend to be available more cheaply than recent bestseller-ish stuff.
Of course, once you factor in my time spent fixing typos and formatting errors at say, minimum wage, my e-books probably go well into the $20 range.
