Even knowing designing survey questions is difficult, I wish one of these outfits would try to explore what their price increases are doing to change the way some of us spend our book money. I'm still spending the same amount monthly, but spending it quite differently. You'd think they'd want to know that their policies are pushing avid readers like me to get more traditionally published books from the library and buy more indie, small pub, and what I think are backlist books put out by authors who have regained rights. What they've done, for me at least, is pushed me from buying $9.99 and less books to buying $6 and less books, but I'm still reading everything I want to.
