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.

I will happily pay $9.99 for a "favorite" or highly recommended (by friends/family) author. I can not see myself paying any more than that, however. I am more suspect with any other materials; $6.99 is a much more comfortable price point for "regular", known to me authors. Unknown authors are much lower on the price poll - $2.99 or less. I will, however, pay more if I've enjoyed the first book in a series by an unknown author. For instance, Abigal Hilton's
Guild of the Cowry Catchers series. I was gifted the first book, purchased books 2 and 3, and am anxiously awaiting the 4th.
