EVERY one of my eBooks cost MORE than $ 7. I only buy 600 to 1,000 page history and biography books. One has been as high as $ 27 but that book is 1,729 pages (A New History of the Peloponnesian War). The average price for the eBooks on my wish list are about $ 12 per eBook.

I never realized that Amazon had so many low priced eBooks. I presume the fiction eBooks are near the low end of the price scale.

Of course, Amazon has lots of free eBooks as well which would lower the average price. I have never seen history eBooks available on Amazon with over 600 pages offered for free.

The lowest price eBook I have on my wish list is "The Martyrdom of Man" for only $ 2.99 with 574 pages. I believe that was the favorite book read by Winston Churchill.
