  • @Bossiiii Yeah and I didn't know that 8 year olds qualified for the end user license, but you made it!

  • Your thought about pricing is interesting. Do lower prices make books more accessible? Yes. You are thinking it is negative. There is a large group of people who find 29.99 for a hardcover to be inaccessible. Don't you think if it was 12.99 more people would buy? And then if they liked the author, they would buy more correct? It would open a whole new market.

  • @jmartinez070 Definitely writing and publishing your own ebooks yourself does open a new market. The problem with that is the same problem the music industry has. Trent Reznor can give away his music for free, because he's Trent Reznor. You still need a record company to become popular. It's the same with books, you need a publisher to become known. Hard Covers come out first and are 29.99 so that publishers and authors can make money. Once it's paperback the author isn't making squat.

  • @jmartinez070 So with that cost between 7.99 and 12.99 other than the publisher not creating the actual book, so saving money. How does the author make anymore money? I mean sure if it's Stephen King, he could make cash all day every day. But if it's someone that hasn't hit it big yet... I just don't know?

see all

  • kindle ebooks can be cheaper because it is absolutely free to produce the book. Regular books have the raw material costs, the transportation costs, and the overhead for the retailer. Those all add up to a be a large portion of the book costs. It doesn't hurt the author or the publisher, except that publishers aren't really needed now. There are authors on Amazon bringing in $1 million per year without a publisher.

  • wow... didn't know a caveman likes to use ebook reader

  • Another negative, you can't customize the screen saver.
