Cheaper than what? Compared to paper book prices? Of course it has to be cheaper than paper book prices. But that has less to do with the price of a specific book, but with what I am willing to pay for a book regardless whether it is paper or electronic. The price I am willing to pay for a paper book does no longer exceed $1 - basically limited to remaindered books that DollarTree sells. And even those are a waste of money when one grabs my attention and I cave in and purchase - I no longer chose to read paper books as it is much more comfortable for me to just use my book(*). I know this beforehand, I also know it when I try to convince myself that 'oh this one is different, I
for sure will give paper a try again.' So, yeah, the prices of big publisher's drove me to get my primary reading fulfilled by Indie, Inc.
(*) 'My book' meaning my eink ereader device in this context.
