How much would you pay to download a file from the Digital library? I have seen some costing $19.00. Would you pay more? Less? Would it depend on the content and size?

I am thinking that the 19.00 is not that bad. I would pay more, but it would have to be something that I was really interested in!

For me, it depends on the file. If I am convinced that the particular file solves the exact problem I'm struggling with, its worth a TON of money. If its just a matter of interest and growth, then a lot less. As an example, the Harvard Business School Press sells articles and short case studies at a variety of prices, from $4. to $16.95 (possibly higher), depending on the exact product. In general, Google and the internet are creating a class of people who expect to find what they need/want for free. The organization/presentation/quality of our information must be exceptional and meet specific needs to successfully charge for it.
