I am backkk!! Sorry for not spending time with you guys! I am just quite busy. We launched my first ever written eBook today, 11th December. Why 11th? Because I was born on 11th day of April. :) My boss told me that 11 is a good number for Feng Shui too. (I do not know if it is real). The eBook priced for US$4.99 and somebody messaged me "$4.99?". I was rattled and throughly thinks if I overpriced this project of mine. I do not know what to react but then I replied "Is it too expensive?" He responded back "Oh, no, it is cheap. Good book!" After hearing that, I released a breath of relief. Haha! My energy is so high today! This is an additional accomplishment for this year! Wooohooo!!

@wiLLmaH This is interesting, travel books written by people who really live in that place are much better. Good luck for a great success.

Congrats! What is your book about and where can I find it? Yes, 4.99 isn't a lot, I have seen some e-books up to 24.99 and more. I have one for .99 because it is a short story. My FB author page is on my profile and there I is where I post the links to where you can find mine.

No worries - I'm always busy too! Well congratulations on your ebook - that launch had to be pretty exciting! I've never gotten an ebook, so I have no idea how prices go with these things. If someone thought that was cheap, well how nice to know they thought your book was worth much more. How about selling it for $11?

@wiLLmaH Just curious how much ebooks typically go for then? I mean, for a physical paper book, $11 could easily be spent. I just wonder how cheap ebooks typically are?!

Haha! We are too busy now to our offline life. :) Good idea.. Why not priced it for $11.00 haha! But I think that price is quite high already.

That is wonderful! I have written six ebooks and they are priced between $2.99 and $6.99, depending on how popular they are. My most popular one is "Your Guide to a Fabulous Las Vegas Wedding." You will have to tell us more about yours.

Congratulations! What a great achievement! When I saw $4.99, I thought it's less expensive too. I'd like to know what your book is about too.
