Wow! Thank you all so much for your responses. This has really helped me & I'm sure will help others too.

I think my prices are spot on. I was worried, but I think I'm good. What a relief lol ;-)

My first novel (a stand alone) debuts in June, and I'll also be generally following Dean Wesley Smith's suggestions and going for $5.99, with regular, scheduled sales after that. Once my series starts going up, I will probably drop the price on this one, and then once the later books start to come out, I'll be reducing the prices on book one and two in the series (probably 2.99 and 3.99 respectively).

I have several priced at $3.99 and some at $2.99 for my full fledged novels in ebook format.

For my 25K word short stories they are $0.99 cents.

I have 1 boxed set of 3 full sized books going for $5.99 and 1 coming with 3 short stories that will be $1.99

Booksellers tend to flex the prices so it may be less than those. I sell well at this price point, but I also do a lot of promo.

** Also ** every book sells differently and the great thing about publishing ebooks is you can always, always - adjust your prices as the market sees fit.

My one and only novel so far is 89,000 words and the digital book sells for 2.99. I'm planning on releasing another novel (around 60,000 words or so), the end of June. That will also be 2.99.

I'm also working on a novelette that will probably come in around 20,000 words. I'll price that at .99.

Short stories - 99 cents - no print version
Short story collections and novellas - 2.99 ebook - 6.99 print
Novels - 4.99 ebook - 11.99 print

Doesn't seem to be a problem. I simply refuse to undersell myself and the work that went into the works.

I just put up a 101,000 word novel on Kindle at $4.99 and had a couple of sales in the first three hours. I have another novel, about 85,000 words, that needs a bit of revision and it too will be going up at $4.99.

I don't know about shorts, though I have a few I might sell at $0.99/$1.99. I am also working on a pulp piece that's going to end up as a 40-50k short novel, and I'm thinking that will be $3.99.
