It’s really hard to swallow in this realm of abundance that there could exist “unfairness” in book pricing.
$15 outrageous for a new ebook? There are a gazillion priced at $10, ,$8, $5, $3, $1 and Free.
That’s if an author can convince you to read at all. There is YouTube and Facebook, Snapchat and good old fashion Tv and movies.
Sure...when talking about prescription drugs and many other products...there are forces at play beyond the free market.
But novels? A product that nobody needs and there is a seemingly infinite supply....it’s a wonder a publisher or author can get people to pay for their product at all. If a publisher charges $15 for an ebook...and is able to stay in business over time. Then $15 is surely a fair price
