As a publisher I'd love it if lowering the price earned more income for the author and us, but sadly that hasn't been our experience.
While I can readily believe this for mid-list authors (if I'm totally unfamiliar with an author, I'm unlikely to take a flyer on their book just because it's $0.99), I wonder if this would be the case for a marquee name like Bradbury.
