I still make $2.00 and some odd cents in royalties.

Amazon makes ninety and some odd cents off each one, so you can see how much it actually cost to sell an e-book, and asking for more than $5 per book is a rip off in my opinion.

I also offer my first e-book for free on my website (see my sig line below).

There's also a website called gutenberg.org where you can download many of the old classics as e-books for free:

"Choose among free epub and Kindle eBooks, download them or read them online. You will find the world’s great literature here, with focus on older works for which U.S. copyright has expired. Thousands of volunteers digitized and diligently proofread the eBooks, for you to enjoy."
