    Abstract: A method and system is described to facilitate variable pricing for electronically viewable content. Consumers pay different amounts to view portions of electronically viewable content obtained from a work, where the amount paid may be based on a characteristic of the work (e.g., the genre or publisher), the consumer's past viewing behavior or purchases, including the portions of content (e.g., the number of pages or chapters) previously viewed from the same or other work, or the number or amount of purchases made of other works or products, or the aggregated viewing behavior or purchases of a number of consumers.
