Do people actually pay for e-books anymore?

Hey everyone! I’m really excited about a few e-book ideas I’ve been working on. These books will dive into how changing the way we think can help people become better at programming. It’s a topic I think can make a real impact, but it’s not your typical programming advice. It focuses on an internal struggle many programmers face, one that I don’t see discussed much, let alone solved.

That said, I’m a bit concerned about the current state of e-books—are people still willing to pay for them? Given that this is my first time writing one, I’m planning to price it at $15 for a 30-40 page book. What do you think? Does that sound fair, or would you suggest adjusting the price?

I’d love your thoughts and feedback!

[EDIT: If you feel the price is too high, I’d really appreciate your input on what you think would be a fair price for this content, based on its value and what you’d be willing to pay.]

[EDIT 2: Just to clarify, many people are thinking of this as a novella or short story, but it will actually include a lot of interactive content like worksheets, assessments, and activities to help you engage with the material. (APART from the 30-40 page content]
