STOP THE E-BOOK vs. PAPERBACK ARGUMENTS. Heres why. The true question is if authors only produced paperbacks are they going to EFFECTIVELY get them to the readers. Other than social media, which I am certain brings in very little money, how are readers going to know about an authors book, if only they sell it. To sell E-books and Paperbacks together is MANDATORY. No mainstream publisher would ever even contemplate this proposition of not selling one or the other. We as indie authors have to think and run our companies more like them to truly compete on their level, and to gain respect from booksellers who have very little faith in our work. What truly needs to happen is this, authors need to price their E-books at $9.99 and just stop the cheap E-books. Mainstream publishers are not thinking about the fact that theres no overhead with E-books. A book is a book. IF EVERY AUTHOR RAISED THEIR PRICES, readers would either buy the paperback or Ebook if they both cost the same. People are trying to run businesses and eat off book sales only. Many people have full time gigs and making money from book sales aint even a true priority because they have an income, so they should be a little less vocal regarding this. Now, lets start a movement to get every E-book raised to over $7.99 and lets really put money in our pockets, and make readers understand that our work is not worthless. And in the end, only the real writers will survive under this method, because readers are going to really select a book with caution if they have to pay $9.99 for it. Also, STOP THE FREE E-books in the end they do not really bring you sales or reviews. Its a cheap ploy for Amazon to gain more buyers not the authors. You drive people their to get your book free and the buyer buys something else from Amazon.
