He makes a great point about the price of the books. I always looked for the cheapest books, never thinking about how it would effect the author.
But ebooks should be cheaper as they do not cost as much. There is no paper, no printing, no shipping, etc. If I were an occasional reader, I wouldn’t mind paying the full price. However, I read several books a week and I cannot afford to buy them. On top of that, there is the problem of storage. I reread books and do not dispose of them unless they are books that I did not like. I just bought a Kindle 2 so that I would not have to buy more bookcases.
By the way John, I have all of your books and have reread them many times.
