1) I spent a majority of my time staring at a screen for work. I don't need reasons to spend more time doing that for recreation. I prefer paper books.
2) I would have happily spent $15-20 on a paperback. Not giving that option means not only do I not get the book I wanted, the author gets less money.
It's very important to consider price ranges in crowdfunding, whether on Kickstarter or other contexts. A big gap in the middle, like missing bottom or top rungs, can leave out would-be donors or otherwise miss opportunities. Look at my poetry prices: standards are $5, $10, $15, and $20 with epics at $1/line. There is something for everyone, whether you've got $2 for an epic in microfunding or $200 for a whole one.
