I would not pay anything, I'm afraid, as I don't have a device to read it on--other than this computer, which can access this website, rendering the digital file moot.

Moot moot.

I would rather have seen you and Rick fight it out with the sword-canes.

I normally get my e-books from Amazon Kindle free classics, and read them on my smart phone. On the other hand, I also frequently buy used books for anywhere from 25 cents to a dollar. On the other hand, I also subscirbe to several magazines that cost several dollars per issue, most of which have as much content as a novel. On the other hand, I also borrow books from friends and lbrairies for free. On the other hand, I have bought several online comic collections for up to $10.

Instead of hands, I should have said tentacles.....

So, in summary, probably around $5, considering it is electronical so the economies of scale can really work in your favor if you do it right.

Probably about $5. But I'm cheap.

$7.99 is a good price point. But I doubt I would buy a digital copy, as I plan to use my paper copy by shredding all of the pages, weaving the shreds into a rope, making the rope into a lasso, and using the lasso to capture a raptor. Then, I will tame and ride my raptor into a bookstore, where I will harness the fear the raptor causes to convince the clerk to give me another paper copy of the book free. Afterward, i will give the clerk my tamed raptor, and laugh with him about how scared he was. Lastly, I will take my free book home and lie in bed with it.

There is nothing better than lying in bed reading a free book.

i think $5 to $10 would be reasonable.

I haven't gotten into the whole digital-books thing yet.

I didn't pay anything for the DRM-free copy I torrented.

Just kidding. No one would go through that much effort to pirate your book.

I think $10 is a fair price for an E-Book, and DRM free is great!

I would pay $15, $20 for bonus material!

How long are your books? I don't really know how much I'd pay...Definitely less than I would for a paper one. Take the price of your paper one and mark it down 30%.

I would pay $6.99 for a digital copy, and $15.99 for a printed copy. Digital copies of things just aren't as good as a solid, tangible object. I'd rather have an actual CD with all of the inserts and lyrics, as opposed to mp3s and jpgs. Same goes for books. Besides, it gets expensive falling asleep with the laptop anywhere near the alarm clock.

To be truthful, I probably wouldn't pay any for a digital, DRM-free version of one of your books, unless it has annotations or bonus comics or something, seeing as you already have a DRM-free website of every comic you've uploaded free.

If you wrote a short story or some rejected comics or something, now that I'd pay for.

Where's is your monacle and luchador mask?

Basic Instructions Episode VI: Return of the Smoking Jacket.

I think you'll find a civilized gentleman values his good humour above his money, and thus would pay any price named in order to ensure the perpetuation of that humour. Namely, a quality digital tome.

Hmm. Five bucks american is as high as I would go.

And kudos to Rick for that rarer than the phoenix win!

I... would pay money.

I still have like $25 in Second Life. You can have that.

$10 is a nice round number.

For DRM free, I'd pay the same as the paper book. I figure the convenience factor about offsets the savings of publishing digitally. There are savings there, right?

$6.73 easy. Maybe $6.91 if I scrounged the couch for coins.

this one made me giggle. and $10 easy...

Isn't a digital version of the book this website?

Sorry, no help. I would only be interested in a physical copy, preferably signed....

Since I will get the paper version of the book anyway, I'd need to estimate the additional value of an electronic version. Maybe $5.

"How much would you pay for a digital, DRM-free version of one of my books?"

$10 is a good amount. Love the strip.

Not as much as a printed copy since a digital version might be harder to take around. I'm guessing around $10 is fair. Too much and less people purchase.

$5.00

I would probably pay $5-7 for an ebook of yours, based solely on the strength of what I've seen of Basic Instructions (I'm a relatively new reader, but I like it a lot).

I'd pay 10ish dollars. Maybe 15. I'm in a small south east asian country and the currency exchange makes anything more expensive pretty painful.

I think i would be willing to buy a digital, non DRM version of your books for about 10 bucks, depending on the format. My wife has a Kindle but I have a Sony (ePub). PDF would be ok for her, but less than stellar for me.

That's exactly how I feel about my sword cane.

i would pay exponentially more for a sword cane

I don't know how much I would pay. I'm fairly cheap. But I think the idea in the next comic is an amazing one.

I'd say about 10$.

NGAAAA!

I've never bought a digital copy of any book, so I can't honestly say I'd pay anything for that. I still like the hard copies, though, and I've bought them all (a free copy would still be cool, though).

So, by this definition, Gregory House is automatically a gentleman?

I'd probably pay about $10, tops. I'm much more inclined to own physical, paper books instead (and am willing to pay for that privilege).
