Here’s a book that’s definitely not for everyone, but if you are interested in Kindle pricing from the perspective of authors or publishers, it’s a must read … if I say so myself:
How to Price eBooks for the Kindle: A Pocket Pricing Guide for Authors and Publishers to Maximize Sales and Royalties with the New 70 Percent Royalty Option
I’m grateful to Morris Rosenthal of FonerBooks, a long-time expert on independent publishing, for the first review of the Kindle edition:

While the main point of this eBook is how to price after the new 70% royalty option was announced (hint – choose a price that meets the 70% royalty requirements), he also discusses the bigger picture of eBook pricing, including the trade-off between profit per sale and sales volume.”
