On advice from a lot of people, I just reduced the price of my book, War on the Margins, from $9.99 to $4.99 (It may take a while for this to be reflected in the listing). Are people reluctant to blow ten bucks on a book by an unknown after shelling out $400 for a Kindle?

Yes, I think they are. And it doesn't help that your $10 is effectively pricing your book as a hardcover; most people are more than willing to wait for the paperback, I've found.

Funny, I changed my price to $4.99 and noticed Amazon reduced it further to $3.99. Could it be because my paperback is coming out soon?

Read Chapter one on my blog http://www.amazon.com/gp/blog/ANOKWN2GWBHQ0/ref=cm_arms_am_blog

and if you like it, it's now just four bucks!

From what I have seen online, ebook reader savvy folk are not necessarily reluctant to spend $10 on an ebook- they are reluctant to spend anything on a Kindle.

>4 An_Fear_Glas: An_Fear_Glas,

As you say, I have more of an issue with the Kindle than I do with the price of an e-book.

Very recently, one of my favorite authors released a new book. The Kindle version (at $8) was the first available. After a full work-day, print ($25) and ebook ($10) versions became available on Amazon and then the ebook versions disappeared-- although those are still available through the author's website. While this one example does not necessarily indicate a trend, I find it upsetting that 1. The Kindle upstaged a new release, 2. out-priced it, and 3. eliminated e-book competition.
