FYI, my sales fees are small, so maybe round up the total to 150 books sold to break even. (Obviously, I'd be hoping for much larger numbers than that to make such a purchase worthwhile... say, sales breaking the hundreds of thousands!
)
It's hard to see how selling in a clean LRF format would result in over 150 more sales. There would have to be something else to add to the formula, to make it work. And ultimately, it's all a gamble, even the best plan may not work. But that doesn't mean it wouldn't be worth trying.
If only I were Steve Jobs in disguise. Then I bet I could come up with something... let's see, where's that turtleneck...?
