So, I have decided to continue my periodic survey of the prices of the top 100 bestselling ebooks on Amazon. I checked the bestseller list at around 2 p.m. today, and this is what I found.

The most popular ebook prices in the top 100 were 99c (14), $1.99 (15), $2.99 (13), $3.99 (14), and $4.99 (11), with six at both $6.99 and $9.99.

 

Compared with recent surveys, the number of ebooks on the list at 99c continued to fall.

The number of ebooks at $1.99 dropped after a rise in August. 

 

The number of ebooks selling at the guru-nominated price of $2.99 rebounded to about average levels after reaching its lowest number in August. 

 

The number of ebooks on the list priced at $2.99 or less rebounded to a near record high. It appears that consumers are once more after cheaper ebooks. 

 

Ebooks at $3.99 seemed to have bottomed out, with eight being the new norm. 

After a spike in August, the number of ebooks on the list at $4.99 has returned to near average.

The trend continues for 2014 of less ebooks priced $7 or more making the top 100 bestseller list. 

Overall, it appears that the price of ebooks making the bestseller list is going down, mainly due to a rise in those at $2.99.
