The thing of it is, the author usually doesn't get much of the cost of the book. If the author could sell as many copies of an e-book on their own as they could with a publisher, they would usually be making as much or more charging one dollar a copy, I mean, if they got to keep all of that dollar.
- lionhearted 16y agoAgreed. I think the author's cut will settle in at between 60% and 90% for a short piece like that. Combine with instant purchasing via Wifi or 3G, and I think it'll emerge as a business model. The $1 to $3 range is really impulse buy territory, around the price for a coffee. I reckon we'll see more of that model coming up.
