The Price according to PDAers
How much are PDAers willing to spend on an eBook?
It seems that many PDA owners are looking for free or inexpensive eBooks and applications, and complain if something costs more than US$5 or $10. When I evangelize to non-PDA users they are quite happy to hear that most applications cost $20 or less because they are comparing that to $50 or more for desktop applications and games. I have to admit that I buy printed books at Costco, where I can get them for about $10 to $15 instead of $15 to $25, yet I do look for eBooks at $8 or less.
...I think I will take a different perspective on eBook buying. If the book's DRM isn't too restrictive, like Microsoft Reader books can be, then you can have an entire library burned onto a CD for future reading and read it on multiple PDAs.
