I have no problem buying a indie book if it has good reviews. I wont pay $2.99 or even $4.99 for a unknown author that isn't published. I will however throw 99 to $1.99 cents to try them out if I am interested.
However don't expect me to pay more then $2 for your book unless you had it properly edited. Good spelling, punctuation and grammar is a must! If I got to spend 30 minutes to an hour fixing mistakes in Word that you were too lazy to do yourself. I'm not going to be a repeat buyer.
This goes for backlist titles too. I'm not going to pay more then $2.99 for a previously published story I have to fix it up myself before I can read it. I love that books are being made available again but please proof read them if nothing else.
I have a few indie books on my wishlist but the price is a little too much to take a chance on. If I saw a couple of a reviews favoring one of these books it would probably make me more inclined to buy them until then I just wait for the price to drop.
