Welcome.

Since I'm not sure what you mean by "the prices" it is hard to suggest a place for "cheaper" ebooks. However, there are 10s of thousands of free ebooks available too... which if you partake will bring your per-book price way down. Heck, there are over 5000 ebooks in the mobileread library that cost no more than the time/cost of a download.

So far I have read 26 ebooks of which I only had to pay for 10. The reast were free (public domain) or free giveaways from TOR or the author him/herself. My per-book price is probably less than $2 each.

Check out our Wiki for these sources for free ebooks. https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Free_eBooks

Enjoy your stay here at Mobileread.
