It's rare that I take the time to write an article about "the industry", I normally reserve my writing time for creative pursuits. After meeting a lot of people who don't understand the costs behind creating an eBook and a few who don't believe an eBook should ever cost anything, I decided to write this article that includes nothing but fact about what it costs to create the content they're enjoying.

I tried to write it in a non-confrontational manner, and hope that this opens the door to healthy discussion as while dispelling some of the misunderstandings that seem common in some groups.
