This is where I've come to a while ago. My TBR list is years long so anything new I buy (or get for free) has to be really worth reading, or at least have as good a chance of being so as I can predict ahead of reading it. Otherwise I'm just hoarding files that I'll have to sift through at some point anyway. It's nice knowing that if something's on my harddrive/ereader it's already been through the first pass of filtering.

If that psychology prevails, pricing is only an issue at the high end and there might be no long-term advantage to creative pricing schemes. It may even be that $0.99 might *not* be the sweet spot to maximize ebook sales volume.

Again true for me. Within reason price won't deter me if I think a book's likely to be a good read, which means if you've priced your book at $0.99 and I buy it you've probably done yourself out of at least a couple of extra dollars you could have had from me. Of course I've no idea how typical I am.
