If we assume those figures are reasonably accurate then from a business and income per book the current modsel looks sensible

Release at $15 and sell t 5% of the market
after 2 montyhs drop down to $10 and get 45%
and after 6 months or a year drop to $5 to get a further 25%

That maximises income and would seemingly make the acreage book buyer happy.

However it's the 'free' market that impacts on this for me. if its easier to get for free and has better lay out and less errors, then those % will start to drop way down.
