When Audril, the heiress to the Lor Mandelan throne, sneaks away to Earth to save one of her dearest friends, she finds that a power hungry tyrant from her own world has begun systematically obliterating towns and cities to get her to turn herself over to him. On Earth, she meets a wildly eccentric old lady named Teedee Venilworth whose imaginary butler/fiancé supposedly holds the key to her success. But how can someone help if he doesn't exist? Could it be that creatures who dwell in shadow are not exclusive to Lor Mandela? Book number two in the Lor Mandela Series, Lor Mandela – Four Hundred Days, is an action-packed whirlwind of intrigue and fantasy. Join the extraordinary characters from the first book, (both the good and the evil), as they traverse the haunted corridors of Alcatraz Penitentiary, travel via portal to an ancient castle on the cliff shores of Ireland, and meet a foreboding race of mystic warriors known as the Solom. Soar on the back of a large horse-like creature to the Northern High Forests and discover that on the picturesque world of Lor Mandela, your friends can become foes, your enemies your allies, and just because someone dies, it doesn’t always mean that they’re dead.
Probably $10-$12 for a book from an author I love or a highly recommended book. Less than $5 for shot in the dark read.
ReplyDeleteI never pay for e-books since i dont have an e-reader, so i just get the the ones for review (the pdfs) from the author...that's it
ReplyDeleteI've paid $5.99, but that was high. I tend to stay $4.99 or under.
ReplyDeleteNo more than $10, ever. I almost guarantee I can find most books used for under $10 as it is, so the e-book is for convenience only. It's gotta be cheap or it's not worth it to me.
ReplyDeleteThe most I've ever paid was $8, but I sort of resented it, even though I love that author. The most I'll happily pay is $5. The most I'll pay without thinking about it is $3.
ReplyDeleteThe most I ever paid was $8.50ish (US), but other than that one time, I never paid over $5.00. I usually hunt down the paperback past $5.00.
ReplyDeleteIf it was my very favourite author ever and the book looked amazing, twelve euro (about $16).
ReplyDeleteMost of the time, under five euro is my preference.
Wow! You guys are all pretty generous! My max is usually around $4. I didn't realize that until I really started thinking about it the other day. I must admit that I have a bit of an ulterior motive in asking...I think my ebooks are about to get a price reduction! :o) Thanks for all the GREAT comments, everyone! Keep 'em coming!!!
ReplyDeleteI think the most I'd pay is $5.99.
ReplyDeleteThe most I've paid was 5.99--and that was for a three-novella omnibus. For most e-books I pay about 2.99 or 3.99. But I don't buy books avail in print in e-book form, rather have the print book in my hands. The only e-books I buy are books not in print (from an e-publisher) or books from smashwords (I adore that site).
ReplyDeleteIf it were a book that for some reason I absolutely HAD to have RIGHT NOW, I'd be willing to pay $8 or MAYYYYBE $10, but as others have said it would need to be a monumental book by one of my favorite authors.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise I like the $2.99 - $3.99 range. It seems fair, considering there is no paper, no printing/binding, no shipping, etc. (Or I'll find a used MMP for $0.01 + shipping.)
$10 & $12 for NYT bestselling authors seems like a ripoff.
As an author, my first book is free, unless you want to support The Wounded Warrior Project, in which case all proceeds from Amazon sales are donated. My other titles are $2.99. I think it's a nice compromise between my hours...and hours...and hours . . . and . . . hours of work, and the aforementioned lack of paper & shipping.
My favorite part about eBooks, however, is that I can download the free sample for books I know I will eventually read. That way I won't lose track of them. When I finally do get to a particular book, I can read the sample and purchase it if it makes me want to continue reading.
I won't pay more than $7-8, and only that much for one that I "MUST HAVE NOW!" if you know what I mean. Most of the time, I won't pay more than $1, though.
