<p>To me the pricing is interesting.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am a rare bird in that I have a Literati and actually like it. That said, "current" hardbacks tend to run $12.99. That's a good savings off the print edition price for a hardback. But paperbacks tend to run $5-$7ish. Still a discount, but not that steep really.</p>

No idea why the price is so high. My agent tells me that there is nothing we can do. Another reason to hold on to e-rights.

Sorry for tardy reply. Yes, I think price is the key. How come the price is so high? Even the big publishers are selling books at $9.99. People keep telling me to get mine published in other e-book formats. I just haven't had time. Hope to pub my next book by May or June.

My first paperback and first Kindle book will both be out in March. Now, I am not expecting to rip anything apart but I am pretty sure that whatever my paperback sales might turn out to be the Kindle sales will outstrip them.

My Kindle books have always outsold the print editions. I'm not complaining because I dislike siging parties and haven't done them in years. The Kindle royalties are better as well.<br />

My mouth waters. I take it that you priced the Kindle version advantageously? My publisher-owned novels are listed at $ 12.99 and selling poorly.

<p>Well, all I can tell you is this: my award-winning suspense thriller, ABSOLUTION, sold more Kindle versions and made me more money in two months last year, than the trade paper version made me in all of 2010.</p>
<p>I got a Kindle for Christmas and I love it. This does not, however, mean that I will stop reading books that I can hold in my hand. You can knock amazon if you want, but I'm one happy author whose kindle-versions are selling selling selling.</p>
