I could pay more if I were more selective in what I buy, but I'm not that well behaved  |
So how about a system that sold an eBook for $20 on release day and eased it down to $5 over five years (like what they
said the agency model would do).
Buying a book when it hits the price you want seems like a better way to send a message to publishers than buying a used book. At least that way you are supporting the Author, and letting the publisher know exactly what price you are willing to pay for the content.
