Experimental Conclusions


Just completed a two-phase PDF sale experiment: price points, cannibalization risks of free PDF, etc.

Preliminary Evidence:
  • 44% of book buyers would be likely to take PDF and not buy print, if PDF were free
  • 11-15% for sure (from experimental data)
  • $10-15 is "sweet spot" for PDF as a product
  • Only small # want both
