EBookNewser Readers Respond: Sandra Brown Wants Higher Prices

This past weekend at Thrillerfest, author Sandra Brown said that eBooks need to come with higher prices. Brown said that eBooks should be priced closer to hardcovers and that she feels guilty when downloading a book for so cheap. “I know how much blood sweat and tears went into that,” she said. “I would pay more if they charged more.” EbookNewser readers disagreed across the board and the Twitter-sphere was abuzz with why this was a bad idea.

Bearmountainbooks pointed out that eBook consumers are a different market than hardcover shoppers and that lower pricing expands audience.
