I have put my price at $2.99 for novels ranging between 80k and 140k words, and 99¢ for a collection of short shorties of about 20k.
I like to specify the word count since the words 'novel,' 'novella,' 'novelette,' and 'short story' have a tendency to be used arbitrarily.
I recently saw a publisher sell a 6k short story for $1.85. At that rate I should be charging $43,00 for my 140k novel.
