My criteria are similar. I will go above $9 for an ebook for a reference book, but $9-10 is about my limit for an ebook and only then for a brand new book by a favorite author.
I expect backlist books to be less than that. And yes, a low price makes me more willing to buy. And a good way to hook me is to make the first book in your trilogy free. Then if it is good enough, I will buy the rest.
Truthfully, I think all relatively unknown authors should put one or two of their better ebooks out for free so we can try them. I found many great new authors at Smashwords and Baen Books that way.
I don't bother with bootleg ebooks though. If the price is too high, there are many other great books out there for better prices.
