I'm not putting a limit myself.
I'm not saying in any way how much you deserve. I'm just asking you how much YOU think you deserve.
And I won't never judge that amount. I wont never say if it's too much, or too little. I will never call you "greedy" wherever that limit is.

If you're asking what I personally feel I deserve for my books: I feel I deserve exactly what I ask to be paid for one book. And I ask for $2.50 per book. Whether that is for one book sold, or a million...
all I ask is $2.50
per book. In fact, if you want to buy more than one book, I ask for less per book. And I do not feel that I'm being unfair in asking that... especially since no one is being forced to buy my books.
(And I'm still trying to figure out how I can scale that price for economies that are further out of sync with U.S./European currency, such as the Third World. Anyone's cost should be roughly analogous to a cup of coffee.)
Since writing is a hobby of mine, I am not trying to make my living at this... I am not trying to make enough to retire, to buy a boat, or a new house. So I do not have a dollar figure that I am hoping to earn from this venture. I just want what I consider to be a fair price per book, and I'm satisfied.
