Hey all.

So I'm trying out a new thing! I've decided that my eBooks are going to be priced not based on what I think they're worth, but on what the customer decides to pay. It's not totally crazy (I've seen this before) and I'm really interested in the results because I want to see if I can make it go as a permanent model.

This isn't super-crazy. It's been done before with video games, though mostly as a special promotion, rather than as a semi-permanent affair. I'm hoping that this will lead new people to check out the games and play them, though if it doesn't it'll be a nice thing for the people that were going to check out and play the games anyway.

Anyway, here's the formal announcement. Please let me know if you have any thoughts or just help me promote this.
