I've belonged to a few groups at Goodreads. And, to my knowledge, this is the first one that lays so much emphasis on price. I don't think price is an issue. At least not at GR.
I think that there ought to be a quarterly book. A 1000 paged book to read every 3 months. Also a short story monthly offering.
I think that most participants in the mobileread group tend to favor unpopular books. Books that are very dry or obtuse or simply uninteresting. The group enjoys books like these but the general public simply doesn't.
Some while back I asked for recommendations that are less than 250 pages and the few that I've read weren't to my taste.
I usually agree with JSWolf about books that win.
