Discounted "sale" prices would be used to move a backlog of volumes, either at the bookstore itself or at the publisher's warehouse. It was rarely a good sign.
With ebooks, there are no stacks of boxes or precious book-shelving problems.
Maybe you remember the "remaindered bin" with its cheapo prices. What you likely don't remember was that authors didn't get paid royalties on those.
Still, they got books moving into readers' hands.
Events like Smashwords' big July-long ebook sale exist to stir things up a bit.
Check out my four selected entries at my Jnana Hodson author page at Smashwords.com to pick up some real deals.
