ebook pricing

[firecat]

Jeaniene Frost, author of the Night Huntress paranormal romance series (which I like a lot), successfully convinced her publisher to lower the price of her ebooks relative to the paper books. She explains the backstory here: http://frost-light.livejournal.com/150368.html

It's a good primer on ebook production and pricing.

Personally, I buy the audiobooks for this series because I get all wet hearing Bones whisper "Kitten" in my ear. (Narrator Tavia Gilbert uses a great voice for him.)

TBH, I would take what she says with a grain of salt. Her publisher's been lowering the prices of various backlist ebooks since last December.

Also, yes, I think relatively lower prices for ebooks vs. paper is a good idea.
