Traditional publishers deal with a variety of issues, and some of those issues (e.g., the desire to maintain the perceived value of books by pricing them appropriately) may work against the broadest distribution of books and giving every author the opportunity to be published.

series title of Traditional Versus Self-Publishing

Success can be measured in a variety of ways. For some authors, success is defined not by monetary gain but by reaching as many readers as possible with their words. A self-published author can offer their ebooks for free or for a very low price to reduce price resistance and build their following. They also are free to charge as much as they choose to obtain higher compensation for their creative work and to make sure the reader is invested enough in the title to feel motivated to read it.

How important is it to you to have the freedom to price your ebook as you see fit?
