You would need consistently greater than 10 books per month to make it worth your money. The convenience of reading any book any time is worth not having to wait for a price checker.
Then why did the author choose that price?
Amazon does not discount ebooks. The author or publisher is the one that chooses the price. So they get what they want.



Do you make sure everything you buy is full price?
You do realize most books in KU that go on free were either .99 cents or 2.99. In which case the author is choosing to lose either .35 or $2.
