I have another observation. Some more notes about what an author might learn from and indie game developer.

Seems pretty clear to me is that free games won the war in the App Store. Most of top grossing games in the app store right now are free with in some kind of in app purchases.

I think it's safe to say that free is where the eBook store will be going as well. You might as well be the first and take advantage of it.

Mr Evans tells us that people want subscriptions. I would argue people want free.

So how to you give a book a way for free and still make a living. Some ideas..

1. Make it really easy to buy small short stories in the same world or extra little bits and pieces. $1 or $2 bucks for a few extra chapters?

2. Give your true fans, your whales, something to spend a lot of money on. Don't be shy about asking for $500 for a signed hardcover you bound and print yourself 3 months for the eBook version is available.

3. Sell add space in you books. If you have eye balls, somebody will pay for them.
