Well do we think the likes of Stephen King and Terry Pratchett still write for the money or just because they have stories they want to tell?
I personally don't think authors are the issue but rather the publishers. I'd sooner pay £5 for an ebook knowing that most of it was going to the author than the £15 they want for some ebooks when you know the author will only get about £3 from that. Which takes me back to my earlier suggestion about a site where authors can sell their own work and the site takes something like 10% of each sale to cover bandwidth, server costs etc.
