Hi Marcy, and thanks for that. You could well be right. We're pretty new to Smashwords and still learning the ropes. We certainly won't make this mistake next year. Our idea, of course, was that whilst offering free books to those who wanted them that way, we could also open the door to anyone who wanted to contribute a little toward the Red Cross effort in Haiti.
But, of course, there are other ways of giving to Haiti and we should have left the fund raising to experts. At least, though, there'll be a check for a couple of hundred dollars on its way.
Actually, there's a way for us to impliment your suggestion right now. At the end of the week (less than two hours from now), we'll be dropping our ebook prices across the board by a couple of dollars. And we had planned to put four selected titles each week on a set-your-own-price basis. It would not seem more effective to make those titles absolutely free instead and change them every fortnight.
Thanks again for sound advice ... something I've come to trust here.
Very best wishes. Neil
