As far as pricing goes, yea, I get that some people want free books, or at least dirt cheap books. Well, there is always PD books and Kindle Unlimited. Might not be the books you want, but they are either free or really cheap. Some of them are quite good. Obviously, enough people buy ebooks at the various price points to make money for the publishers and authors. I know it stinks that authors need to make a living, but there you go.
