I agree. Ebooks shouldn't be free but at least they should be cheaper than paperback and hard backed books. Especially where most (not all) ebooks are by lesser known authors.LivreAmour217 wrote: ↑27 Feb 2017, 14:27 Asking for the e-books to be free isn't reasonable, in my opinion. How else is the author supposed to make a living? However, I think that e-books should cost less than paperbacks, particularly the ones that are written by less well-known authors.

But cheaper than paper book, yeah I agree with that because the Writer/Author will not spend money on printing it so it has to be cheaper than a paper book. But let's face it at the end of the day Authors are free to put any price tag they want to put. And the readers have the right to not buy it if they don't like the price tag.
