Question 1: what exactly does your friend do?
Question 2: what is really good?
Question 3: What is the population that will see this billboard?
To me, a billboard seems like a total waste of money to sell books especially ebooks that are not available at the big bookstore.
Your website is just way too long for people driving down the road especially with the dot net.
As your new financial advisor: I say don't try it since it will break you. That is just too much money for very little return.
As to charging the 99 cents, that is way too little money to charge. Most 99 cent books aren't worth free. If it is a full book of more than 200 pages $2.99 is the least you should charge. If I can't talk you out of the billboard, price your book either $4.97 or $4.99. Be sure to use the 97 or 99. Both sell better than round numbers. Oh and do put them on Amazon if you do the billboard so you don't look like a scammer.
A $5 book will catch way more eyes than a $1 book.
Readers are finicky. Don't make yourself look like a cheap indie.
