And now books are cheaper especially buying them as ebooks.

A bigger problem is time. What I cannot afford is to read to many bad books or start with to many bad books. That means I have to give up a good book. So I only look for new authors to try to find very good books. Books that are just OK or good I have a lot of unread at home already.

And of course the probability to find a very good book is much higher if it is recommended AND it has been published by a real publisher.
So if you don't care about price, you won't care if we double the price of all your books? Paperbacks cost at a minimum $22 or so here, going up to say $36. Why don't you import them from Australia if price doesn't matter?
