Well, she's a bit greedy, what?
I just bought Mission of Honor from Baen: a professionally published book, in an ongoing series, by a bestselling author. Price? $6.00
(that's another thing I like about Baen: no $x.99 weaseling)
Frankly, I can't envision any circumstances in which I would buy a self-published book, with or without a sample, from some random newbie for 25% more than I'd pay for a book from an author I know I'll like. And any author who thinks a substantial number of people will do so is delusional.
