Would this not encourage books to be larger with a lower density of content?
- __Joker 11y agoI think they will go for something like ( price_of_the_book)/(no_of_pages) for a single page. So it should not be a problem though. Historically I think, may be, some of the 19 century books like Charles Dickens The Great Expectation may suffer from the problem you mention. These books used to be published like periodicals like a single chapter would be released each week(like soap). It made sense to lengthen them for financial benefit. I am not sure, kind of anecdotal, but I think lot of people don't read or finish lot of books.
- oldgun 11y agoHow about paying by the percentage of what the customer read?

- yxhuvud 11y agoThat should be adjusting by itself though, since lower density of content lowers the want to continue reading.
- dlitz 11y agoRight, but it'll adjust to the point just above the "intolerably sparse" threshold.
