So I picked $3; that's low enough to get noticed, without people thinking of inferior quality or a special deal that a $1 ebook might. And it seems to me that retailers and publishers should be able to make a small profit on a $3 ebook while still paying the author a good royalty. But if I say $3 and get $5, I'll be happy.

Ditto on everything you said. I already try to keep my ebook-buying to books $5 and under, so $3 an ebook would be awesome. I could buy even more, then!
