I will strike a middle ground on the issue. I have no problem paying for a book but I absolutely refuse to pay the insane prices that publishers are charging for books these days. I refuse to pay of $8 for a book, no one is worth more than that in paper back, I generally do not buy hardbacks, not becuase of price but because there are so much great stuff out there in paperback to read that I really do not have time to read the hardbacks. I agree with Leebase that there is nothing wrong with charging for ones work but $9 for a paper back thats simply down right greedy. I also require a free sample so that I can see if I like your writing style, one page will do it or two paragraphs will do it. I'm looking for two things: can you as an author manage to keep a story flowing in one direction and limit the sceen changes, many authors simply are not able to do that; and I am looking to see how many gramatical mistakes you make in the first page of the novel, there are simply too many available writting tools for authors to make that many mistakes and some of them are available for no charge so authors have no exuse what so ever.
