Paul,
your last statement turns the whole argument upside down. If theres
money needed to build your own store, the whole thing blows up. How many
books do you have to sell in order to pay a single developer day, even
if it is "free"? How much more could the student do to improve pharo
during such a day? If you raise 100%, you still get only around 4 euros
more per book....
But I agree: the price difference between 6 and 25 seems strange. Cannot
tell you why, but I have a good excuse - it can be found in the linked
post: it's psychology!
I guess the book is worth far more than 6 Euros. So if you'd ask me, I'd
charge a two-digit price and leave the 25 as is. But only if the raise
really helps Pharo, not Lulu...

I don't have time to make an ebook ecommerce site for free for you guys
right now.
How about using gumroad.com where its just a 5% cut for now until you
can find a student and some budget to implement something?
Seems like you'd need to commit to raising your prices beyond 6 euro to
justify any development time on your own custom ebook platform.

contractually obligated or is there some flexibility? Can that be
switched over right now to just email you when someone orders the PDF
and you manually email them the PDF until you get a system in place to
automatically respond to their orders?
I don't think we are obligated to do anything. So, if you want to
build a little app that would do that, we would really like it.
Oh YES!!!
We would love to have that.
