I find that the existing book pricing structure has five levels:
1) Hard backs
2) Trade Paperbacks
3) Premium Paperbacks
4) Massmarket paperbacks
5) Independent Authors
The difference between levels three and four is that three contains all of the popular authors that are well known. Once an author is upgraded from level four to level three they are never downgraded ever. Level four authors tend to be new authors or those that have been yet to be discovered as yet. Level five authors can range in price from level four costs and on down. I find that the pricing is due several functions:
1) the popularity of the author, if they are popular they will be level three
2) The size of the book, level two books tend to be physically larger then level three books are;
Electronic books are typically treated as an afterthough and tend to be idential to their dead wood book cousins.
