Would you buy an ebook on Aspergers?

Post Reply New Topic

I am planning on marketing an ebook that deals with managing obsessiveness, places to make friends, reducing the negativity that comes with along with Asperger's Syndrome many times, and people you can trust in regards of advice. It will be at least 40 pages long, and sell for $19.99. Would you buy it if you came across it online?

No I would not. I don't like reading about the subject anymore. Also $20 is way too much for a book that's any shorter than 200 pages.

No. There are many 100-300 page books regarding a wide variety of topics on Autism that are much cheaper than $19.99, and most of the books I have bought and read were not even that helpful.

I don't like reading books & I could learn about that stuff from coming here.

I'd buy one off you, if I had an e-reader.

No. I prefer to come up with my own solutions to my own problems.

$20 for 40 pages? You are quite the pricey author aren't you! I wouldn't buy any book on the subject. Not all advice works for everyone. I prefer to come up with solutions on my own.

As somebody who is studying in the library profession I must say that I'm not a big fan of e-books but if I saw it in book form I'd be very interested in buying it.

I would not. Especially one so short; you could be paying to see what is effectively nothing more than someone's blog or personal ramblings, no offence intended. It might be different if the eBook was longer and by a recognised author or someone with recognised qualifications in the field, even then there are no guarantees.

There was a thread recently in the Parents forum about an Asperger's eBook by Mark Hutten and it was generally rubbished. I even had to ban three fake member accounts made by the author pretending to be satisfied customers giving it good reviews! Link: http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt205926.html
