Most books on Amazon that I pick seem to be 5.99 or above. When I saw how low your book was I honestly couldn't believe it. In my opinion I would go off of ratings when deciding a price. If most readers liked my book I'd change my price based on rankings. I usually will pick a book if the ratings are decent..price be danged. Just wanted you to know that from a buyer's standpoint. And after reading the Faking it book being that the book was so great, I would up the Ordinary World book up about a dollar. Keep up the good work! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-189798594954206511.post-55604450316577323402010-07-01T07:16:43.322-07:002010-07-01T07:16:43.322-07:00Thanks, Debbi.

I also raised mine to a $1.99 a couple of months ago and saw my rank drop. A month and a half later, I dropped the price again. Now my rank has been restored.<br /><br />I agree with you about the positive effect the $2.99 minimum will have on value. I've been concerned that ebooks are being valued without regard to the inherent value of their content.<br /><br />I actually wrote about this issue here: http://writing4hire.blogspot.com/2010/02/how-much-is-e-book-worth.html<br /><br />I'll be interested to see how readers react to the price hike. I'm crossing my fingers for you. And all of us. :)Debbihttp://midlistlife.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
