Nowadays, one can find eBooks about every possible subject, fiction, and nonfiction, free and not free.
Considering non-fiction eBooks, such eBooks disseminate knowledge, not pages, which means that it is not correct to evaluate the price of an eBook according to the number of its pages.
The price should be determined by the information offered, its usefulness, and its relevance, and also by the amount of practical knowledge, inspiration, motivation, tips, and advice it provides and by the uniqueness of the information.
