I buy hardcover print books of my favorite fiction authors and of nonfiction; otherwise, I buy ebooks. However, there is a limit of how much I will pay for an ebook -- $5.99 -- and I'll pay that amount only for certain books or authors.
I recently read the first book in the When Women Were Warriors series. I enjoyed it and was looking forward to the next book in the series -- until I saw the price: $9.99. The third volume in the series was also $9.99. I simply will not pay that amount for an ebook, especially not when there are so many good ebooks available for significantly less and not when my TBR pile has more ebooks in it than I am likely to be able to read in my remaining years.
I have passed on several interesting looking ebook series recently because the subsequent volumes (i.e., volumes 2+) in the series have been what I view as excessively priced. I wonder how sales are for these ebooks.
