I think I'm going to hold off on self-publishing etc as I still consider it (in frustration). While the work remains unpublished, at least there is still a little hope. A $2 e book is effectively useless. For me anyway.

I reckon there are a millions, if not billions, of unread free and cheap ebooks on ereaders. I bet most of those ibooks bought for $9.99 and above are eventually read. A bit like all the books I picked up cheap at garage sales as opposed to those I bought new. I will eventually read all those new books, while most of those from garage sales will never be read. I have stopped going to garage sales. I think a lot of authors sell themselves short and are cutting their own throats and the future of publishing by flooding the market with cheap and free downloads of ebooks, most of which will never be read.

A shame that it appears they go for price rather than content.

What would be interesting to see what type of books are selling for that price … it's rather depressing though I think.

Or perhaps I only see the negative side.
What's your view on all of this information Graham?

Btw I like the graphs.
