Hi @fireshadow, if you read my original article , you’ll see that I think my users at Luzme fall broadly into 2 categories:
- The avid readers, who have a long, long watchlist and buy several books a week; usually happy to buy whichever happens to be on offer today; and
- The specific reader, who knows exactly which book they want, and just want to know when and where it’s available; they’re usually very insensitive to the price, they just want the book.
I’ve been surprised just how long some people’s watchlists are; I think the current largest on Luzme is approx 4.5k books. With a watchlist that long, there’s always going to be a book on a price deal to buy!
So I think, in answer to your question about the books at the lower end, they are a mixture. There’s definitely many normally-higher-priced books that get bought at the low price; I can see this from the response when I send out a price alert email. But there are also some, often from the self-published authors, who are on permanently low price.
