<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I still think an E-Book should not cost
$50 unless you are revealing some sort of secret information that cannot be
found elsewhere. You have no printing or distribution costs, pass that
along to the buyer. Maybe you could have sold 1,000 at $19.99 and doubled
your profit. Obviously, setting the price is your business but for $20 I
might have made a purchase, at $50, no way.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

English is not my first language, but the book was reviewed by other people.
The descriptions were written after the revision. The book is for beginners and
intermediate users, it is not meant to advanced users. The entire book was
uploaded to Amazon to enable the "Search Inside" feature, but it
takes 3 to 5 weeks to get ready. More than two hundred <span class=unmark>e-Books</span>
were sold since January and I have received very few complains about
them, just some minor mistakes with orthography, already corrected. Anyway, I
will improve the descriptions as soon as possible. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

help. Also, $50 is kind of expensive for an E-Book. Maybe if you
