This one is almost harder than the first.... K's store prices are already generally at or above market (for the items I've looked at.) However, the biggest proposition/differentiator to the way they did the store was including the bookmarks. In that regard, maybe some significant bundling discount for Movie Guide with store access would be reasonable or store-only access for slightly less than full Movie Guide access.
I am/was a dedicated user of the store, but I assumed that the income they made from the movie sales was adequate to support the store's maintenance. Now, I don't know how I feel about it. I would almost always buy a movie from the store vs alternatives, because I wanted to support K, but now, I might not do that. If the store could be kept open by our continued purchases, then I would definitely keep buying through it. I would have to decide, if presented the option, whether that option was worth even more of a premium, though I feel like I would be willing to support at least some fee or increase.

I would be up to paying a subscription price assuming it still supported UV to BD downloads. That is a real market differentiator for K. this also assumes some support for the Movie Guide.

I'm not sure that I'd pay anything to keep the Kscape store as currently configured. I've never bought a single movie from the store, though I have purchased over 250 disk-to-digital offers. And if there were a way that disk to digital could be expanded so that I could get K quality downloads, for a reasonable fee, for every movie that I own that is in the store (rather than just selected ones, but I don't care about Disney), I'd be happy to pay for that.
