Review: $12 a little too much

I got the first chapter of this book free and I do mean chapter as it was only 57 pages and took less than 1/2 hour to read.I enjoyed it but I don't know if Im going to finish it because there are 4 books total and at $3 each ,thats $12 for about 200 pages,less than a couple hours to read.At least authors like JR Ward who charges $12 a book you get around 1000 pages.I know that for the authors to make any money at all selling their books,they have to charge at least $2.99 to get like I think 75 cents to a dollar.Thats way less than minimun wage and as much as I love the convience of buying and the variety I can get by ordering and reading books thru Amazon.com,it seems like both I and the author lose.I am paying much more than if I went to the store and bought the book ,only the store does not sell most of the titles I buy because publishers rarely publish authors that are new and not guaranteed money,and the author suffers because the customer thinks that the author is breaking the books up into chapters and charging higher prices than added together would be more than an entire book would be so the author suffers because customers get mad and so they won't buy the books.This is driving me crazy because I really want to finish the other 3 books but there are 4 other books I read,where the first book was free and I got hooked and wanted the other 3 but then I would be paying almost $50 for 4 books.So unless the first "chapter" in the series blows me away,I get fustrated because I never find out what happened because its too expensive and the author loses out because there are other people who feel the same way I do.I think Amazon should look into this and see if there isn't some way they can make it more equitable so the author makes money and I get to read the whole book because I would then buy the rest of the chapters because it would not cost so much.I know that this review does not say a whole lot about the story itself but if I write everything I liked about the book then I will go crazy with wanting to buy the other three parts,so the best advice I can give is get this one free and if you really liked it like I did then buy the rest.But be warned,it may make you want to buy the rest of the books really bad lol
