Sure, more people than ever are reading because of electronic books & more books are being purchased – is it because of the price? The convenience? A combination of them both? Insisting on a lower price because paper isn’t involved just doesn’t make sense when it comes to the extreme pricing differences between hardcover & electronic. (hardcover indicating anything using pulp)

In the article discussed here – I agree, if the electronic market value is $14.99, its $14.99. Boycotting an author or publisher is extreme over a $2 price difference. I’d love to see more $ value added to electronic books because of content rather than see lower prices because a book is electronic.

I helped start Lulu.com and witnessed thousands of authors achieve moderate success though this venue. It does take time, effort, research and perseverance to achieve your desired results–but it won’t cost you a lot of money if that’s your primary concern. I think you should give that a shot if you have the time and determination to make it happen.

Good post although i just read it now but thanks for educating us. I have one question to you if there’s any publishing entities that offer “publish your book to us and pay later”? financially i am broke and cannot afford any cent at the moment but i guarantee you my book has a potential market viability according to a certain acquisition manager of the traditional book publisher, (Co’s name withheld). Kindly refer me to one. Thanks and God bless!
