This statistic presents the attitudes of self-publishers towards pricing their e-books and their audience. In 2012, 56 percent of all surveyed self-publishing authors stated that they would rather sell their e-books cheaply or give them away to get more readers.
The source does not provide detailed information regarding the questions and possible answers of the survey. The wording chosen here might therefore differ slightly from the wording of the survey.
