I think the $4.99 price is good for a full-length book (~80K). Most of your books on Fictionwise come close to that. One is significantly longer, one significantly shorter. The 150K book could fairly go for $7.99 or $8.99. The 25K book shouldn't be more than around $2.50 or $2.99. IMO.

I think one of the benefits of eBooks is it's easier to make judgments about the book length in comparison to others. It can be appalling to realize the $14 Trade Paperback you bought was shorter than the average category romance, but the was "hidden" in the larger book format and creative use of book white-space.
