i don't think i'd pay more for an ebook than the paperback version (hardback if brand new), and prefer to pay less than $6.99 if possible. if a book is over $7.99 and there's a used paperback version, i may buy that - although our house is FILLED with books. i do sometimes buy my favorite books in paperback or hardback, and i try first books in a series in used paperback sometimes as it's often cheaper than the ebook version. it all depends on what author, what series, how new and what mood i'm in.

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 actually contacted the author about this, and her feeling was that since the first book was free, that meant that the series averaged to less per ebook. generally i've gotten free ebooks that led to additional books in the series for $3.99 to $7.99, so they average out to less...
