I've also released a PDF version, also for $2.99.
The print edition will still be $12.99. (Reviews are here.)
(More thoughts on this decision below...)
When I published the novel in 2009, my thoughts were that the print edition would come with the glorious front and back covers designed by the amazingly talented Anne Cain, and the e-book wouldn't. I had also put a lot of work into designing the interior PDF on Adobe inDesign (and chose a nice-looking perpetua typeface); Kindle scraps a lot of that work in the interest of its own file format and fonts. The target audience for Ockham's Razor is relatively small, and I knew that going in. All these factors lead me to price the e-book closer to the print edition to encourage people to buy the book in print.
2+ years later, I've decided to lower the price for the e-book to what has become an industry standard for indie authors. (Actually, the standard for many is 99¢, but that just seems sad given how much blood, sweat and tears goes into writing a novel.)
