Did indies price their ebooks too low in the past, thereby limiting their ebook pricing options for now, and going forward?
- No, I think the pricing range for indies is about right, and indies have correctly priced low in order to gain a market foothold. There was no other option.
- No. I do agree, that I think the pricing range is too low, but there was no choice. I think it was necessary for indies to price low in the past in the name of competitiveness.
- No, because I think prices for indie ebooks are going to slowly rise above the current popular pricing range, and the decision to price ultra-low in the past will be a moot point.
- No, because the currently popular pricing range is a mirage, doesn't need to be adhered to, and indies are undercutting themselves unnecessarily.
- Yes, and now the pricing range for indie ebooks is far too low, and always will be, but I understand and agree with why people have priced so low in the past. They had to do it. No-win situation.
- Yes, and now the pricing range for indie ebooks is far too low, and always will be, and it was completely unnecessary and shortsighted.
- Yes, and if you thought the pricing range for indie ebooks was way too low now, it's going to get even worse. But, I still think it has been a necessary evil.
- Yes, and if you thought the pricing range for indie ebooks was way too low now, it's going to get even worse, and it was completely shortsighted for indies to have done this.
- It's not a 'yes' or 'no' answer. There's a lot of ins-and-outs, and what-have-yous. Basically, it's complicated, and no one's to blame. It is what it is. What can I tell you?
- Who cares? The current pricing range for indie ebooks is what it is, and you can still make good money within the current range. Yes, it could change, and get worse, but it hasn't yet. Quit worrying, hurry up, and make hay while the sun is shining.
- Indie ebook pricing is not something I ever think about, and it's doubtful I ever will.
- It doesn't matter because the "damage", even if we agree there is any in terms of what customers now expect to pay, can be reversed. We can, and likely will, condition customers to expect to pay more.
