How do I set a selling price for the International Print version of my book?

How do I set the selling price for eBooks?
EBooks are usually priced much lower than the print version. Unlike print books, an eBook does not have any production costs associated with it and makes it a little tricky to arrive at a selling price. However, here are some pointers to keep in mind while pricing an eBook.
- To distribute via different websites internationally, the most common rule is for the price to end with $0.99. For example, if you want to price your eBook at USD 4, you would have to price it at USD 3.99. The lowest selling price you can have for an eBook is USD 0.99.
- For India, the minimum price you can set for an eBook is Rs.49. You are free to set any price above this. Retailers may charge readers a GST on top of this price.
