Hey, I JUST found this thread, thanks to ATDrake on another post. And thanks for starting it, Ashley! I'm excited to see all the comments it's generating.
First, I'll say this: my goal is sincere. I'd like the price of my ebook (and all ebooks) to be lower than mass market paperbacks. There are tons of blogs I've posted on this week if you're curious to find out why. I think
this one says it well:
Preliminary results are middling re: sales - as in, my guess is that DPS is selling 5-10x as many copies, but that might not be enough considering there's all this extra promotion going on to convince my publisher that he should lower the price on a permanent basis.
At the end of this experiment, I'll share whatever info my publisher allows me to. I don't have specific stats now, but I'm hoping to. Thanks so much for all these comments/discussions.
