Writers: have any of you tried the "you set the price" pricing option on Smashwords?
I just released a new edition of my book and dropped the price to $2.99 on Amazon, and on Smashwords I set the suggested price at $2.99 but also opted to let people pay whatever they want.
This pricing option reminds me of what Radiohead did with their "In Rainbows" album. Apparently they actually sold a lot of albums even though they gave everyone the option of downloading it for free. Then again, Radiohead is extremely well known and established, and I am not...
Anyway, I'm really curious to see if anything comes of this. I'd also love to hear feedback from anyone who has tried this.
And also, I'd like to hear what all you readers think of this as well.
