Pricing "Poll"

I thought there was a poll gadget on Blogger, but it looks like it was removed a while ago...

Sigh.

Anyway, I don't know if the pricing for the eBook versions are a good thing, or a bad thing.  I've priced them nominally to get purchasers, but it looks like it may have the opposite effect of: "If it's that cheap, then what's wrong with it?" Or, perhaps it may give the scent of desperation? (And not, I'm not desperate.)

I've seen some books going as high as $9.99, but is that the price point I should be aiming for?  One of the suggestions from the Smashwords writing guide was to offer the first book for free to get your readers hooked, then they could purchase the following ones in the series for full price.

So, what does everyone think?
