I'd be the first to admit that I haven't got the pricing sussed yet.
I'm not keen on the 99 pence thing - in the long term I don't think it's a good idea to encourage the assumption that ebooks are necessarily cheap books. If you add to that the fact that a lot of the 99 pence editions are... well...
not produced to professional standards... You can see where that leads.
Also, I think there are already several markets for ebooks. The people who hang out in these forums are early adopters, a bit geeky, interested in how things work, full of opinions and don't see why they should pay much. There's another growing market of people who just want to read. They will go to Amazon and they (I hope) will think "Hey, not much more than Oxfam..." I personally regularly buy mainstream books for my Kindle which cost twice as much.
Glad you liked the cover - I was proud of that.
