I got a book today that cost me $45 + $15 post from America. The writer won't get any of that because it was second hand, and he won't get anything when I resell it either (probably at or above what I paid).
But he chose to make the ebook version a limited edition by removing it for sale as soon as the paper version sold out, so there wasn't really any choice. This idea of deliberately restricting the number of people who can read a book just doesn't make sense to me.
"Write for people who want to read it" rather than "write for people who can afford it".
I can understand the vanity side of seeing your book selling for silly money on Amazon, but I don't see how that is worth swapping for a steady income from readers.
