I make it the hard way, Charley--$0.99 a copy

No, I don't think my work is only worth 99 cents.  But it's the price of exposure.

New authors fighting for sales on Amazon and Barnes&Noble face a dilemma.  Price your book too high and no one will pay for the download.  Price it too low and run the risk of being labeled a marginal writer peddling a cut rate read.  Common wisdom (among those more experienced in the ways of e-publishing than I) says that readers won't take a chance on an unknown eBook author unless the price is right.  Right or wrong, it seems that the going market price has been set at 99 cents.

So I'll take the small change for now.
