What I've seen in books I look at is indie books often coming in at a buck less than Big 5 published mass market prices. I haven't really noticed an huge increase in Big 5 pricing myself other than maybe a few more authors first being published in trade paperback where they used to be mass market meaning the initial release of their books digitally is higher. For the most part though it's the same as always. Hardcover releases often = $12.99-$16.99 for digital, Trade = $9.99-$12.99, Mass Market = $5.99-$8.99 (usually $6.99-$7.99). Many self pub authors I used to pay $3.99 for have gone to $4.99 or $5.99
Is it necessarily that indie sales (I guess we're equating indie to self-pubbed?) are down or is it that there is more in the marketplace so sales are spread out to more authors/publishers? (I suspect it's a combo of things)
