In my experience, even just $1 would have a significant chilling effect. And making the book available for free has the benefit of helping those who don't have credit cards (due to e.g. geography, socioeconomics or age).
A nice alternative can be a "pay what you want"approach, with a recommended amount and an option to pay nothing.
- antepodius 8y agoI would imagine the credit card usage forms the majority of the chilling effect. Personally, I find it a lot more annoying to faff around with using the credit card to pay for something (even when I consider the cost negligible) than to just download it.
