Author embracing ebooks
Hi, I'm an author trying to navigate through the confusing ebook world.

You can find info about me and my books--suspense novel WILD and nonfiction Save Your Money, Your Sanity, and Our Planet on Smashwords at http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/10349

I listed them at $1.99 so everyone could download them. WILD is a Recommended Read on Suspense Magazine and has received many enthusiastic reviews on Amazon as a print book.

The Kindle versions are coming at the same price whenever Amazon gets its act together and lists them.

I would love to know what ebook readers are looking for, what they hate and what they love about their ereaders, etc. I'm hoping this new digital world will be the revolution that authors need to thrive and readers need to save their dough.

Hi Pamela. Welcome to MR! I checked out your finance book and it looked interesting, but it's very short. The sample was supposed to be the first 10% and it took me less than ten minutes (even with an interruption from my boss) to read. So in terms of what people are looking for, that would be the only reason I would not pay money for the book. It seemed like an okay read, but the only way I would get a book that short would be as a free read. $1.99 is a good price for a longer read, but I wouldn't really buy something that short.
