It's still Amazon and the Kindle ebook pricing when it came out. Everyone heard that price and it just 'stuck' in the subconscious.
My problem with pricing isn't so much being stuck on the 9.99 price point, it's all the horrid editing and formatting I've seen in far too many ebooks. Errors that are in the ebook but not the DTB.
I see a need for publishers and think they should get a fair price because of the work involved in the industry outside of the actual printing and it's associated costs. When I see improvement in the quality of the product I will be more willing to pay a higher price.
Okay. I got it now.
Speaking of pennies, I'm old enough to remember when penny candy was really penny candy. For 10 cents, you could buy enough penny candy to get sick on.
And I'm only talking as far back as the 60's.

Let's not go there, ok? I'm still old enough to remember buying my first Superman comic for $.12 and $.25 Giant issues.

I remember $0.25/ gallon gasoline, when we though $0.35 per gallon was high, and $0.15 McDonald's hamburgers.
