Bravo! MovieBird!
They pricing scheme should be $1 to $3 for a one time read. That will be enough for many people....and you would make profits on increasing the volume of sales, whilst production costs would remain near zero (just the first typeseting/formatting plus whatever security software costs for DRM. No books to print ahead of time in the hopes of selling them. You reduce your possible loss downside (losees due to over production of books which do not sell is non-existent), run your costs of production way, way down (no paper or other physical production costs), and then increase volume by dropping the price, to an afterthought.
But alas...
