I really appreciate your candor.

Possibly some people will 'buy' these for 1 cent, just because they can which probably means you make a loss.
Thankfully paypal eats the loss on those transactions. Letting it be completely free would hurt us on a couple of small counts (essentially we can call these paid circulation versus promo copies, even if we net 0 on a sale; plus we get more "buy in" on the idea; we've had a MUCH bigger interest in this sale than we have when we've given an issue away; plus we get an email address to follow up with).

Mind you, my forte is _not_ marketing. This is a by-the-seat-of-my-pants thing, and has been, so far as marketing goes, since it began.

I know our Kindle editions (for Issues 0-2 which is all we have up so far) have non-linking Table of Contents; that's towards the top of my list to fix, as well as getting issues 3 + 4 up there, and Issue 5 _out_.

Fictionwise does all our non-Kindle conversions based on a specially-formatted RTF we give them. My hope is those are better done.

And on that note:
* here's an EPUB of Issue 3.

Let me know if a different format would better suit your trial.
