DixieGal, I'm confused. I thought my responses made it clear I was speaking for myself. I do think, however, that everyone considers pricing. Everyone has a price point at which they will blink. It may be $5 or it may be $300, but I have not found anyone who is 100% indifferent to pricing 100% of the time. Of course, the exception proves the rule, so I guess there are people who are 100% indifferent to pricing 100% of the time.

As for books selling for $9.99 and people buying them, it would be interesting to know which books they are buying at that price. Are they buying asuthors with whom they are familiar or are they buying completely unknown self-published authors? It would also be worth knowing how many books at that price they are buying that are written by unknown authors and are self-published.
