But that ignores the effects of volume. Lower prices should encourage more sales. My own experience is I'm likely to spend more money when prices are lower, not less. Rather than one book at £10, I'm likely to buy two books at £6.

And there's an argument that would say bringing down the price of well-known books could bring in new readers, growing the number of consumers.

Having said all that, I've been posting some rubbish today...

Had a bit of a headache.
