I do hope she re-thinks her pricing and that she releases a collection volume for less. That's just crazy. :) WRITE ON!Jo Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02005237887461809640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-47462233320125791262013-06-26T22:50:12.598-04:002013-06-26T22:50:12.598-04:00I cannot speak for other readers, but I think $2.9...I cannot speak for other readers, but I think $2.99 is a bit much to pay for a short story. I understand Clare's financial concerns, but I think she'd be better off to lower the price a $1 and sell more stories.<br /><br />Or, to put it another way, as much as I loved Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series (enough that I collected most of the hardcover versions), I didn't buy them when they came out. I waited until they showed up on remainder racks. <br /><br />I have a limited book buying budget, and I have to spend my funds wisely. If it means I have to wait for a sale... so be it. I also, like most readers, have a huge "to be read" list waiting for me...

I just hope other readers don't think they are getting more than 40 pages for their $2.99. <br /><br />I also think that one the 10 stories are released in paperback (the author mentions this in her post), Clare will not charge $29.90, and that will be a book -- not 10 ebooks.<br /><br />Hmmmm.<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing. I'm still conflicted.Tia Bachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336780518125138789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-91808053963533468662013-06-26T13:54:28.802-04:002013-06-26T13:54:28.802-04:00Agree with Krystal - if you love the writer, you s...Agree with Krystal - if you love the writer, you should be willing to pay what they are asking. After all it's a "known" product to you.

That's how I would look at it anyway, especially if it was an author I loved. Things are kind of worth what people are willing to pay for them. I would pay $3 for a shorter piece by an amazing writer. krystal janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08982747799563029153noreply@blogger.com
