There are regular sales on Amazon and elsewhere, generally between between 99c and $2.99.
These aren't terribly written trash, they are regular books, normally sold for more, that are on sale for a short period.
Recently, the Commissario Brunetti series by Donna Leon has been going on sale, a few books at a time, at $1.99 each, and I've picked up close to a dozen of them.
I won't enjoy them any less because I paid $1.99 rather than the regular price of $9.99.
The idea that you pay $10+ for a 'good' book, or a few dollar for a 'bad' one is just wrong, if you take the time to shop around.
