Mark Coker of Smashwords in a recent analysis of 11 months of sales on his site found that 99 is passe, replaced by 2.99, but he said the best price point was 3.99.
Which makes me wonder why Chuck Sambuchino has his book priced at $9.99 on Kindle. That doesn’t seem like the best way to build his platform. Of course he isn’t an Indie. I like him by the way (heard and met him at a writers conference) so I’m not casting stones. I just think it’s hard for guys with a traditional publishing background to understand what it’s like to be an Indie down in the trenches.

I do think writers worry about these issues much more than readers who have no aspirations to write. Perhaps that’s why they are so forgiving.

Amazon has been overrun by a mob of such dreamers. Unfortunately, few want to pursue the craft of writing. It’s hard work. It’s tedious work. The devil is in the details. The errors you mentioned (and many others that we could mention — misused homonyms, improper punctuation, repeated use of pet phrases, etc) are like speed bumps to readers. Fortunately, book lovers oft seem forgiving until these errors pile up like a chain reaction wreck on the highway of your story line.
