Date: 2011-04-14 10:38 pm (UTC)I'm not going to be able to keep the pace, I fear. This afternoon, Steve and I met in town after the day-job released me. We toured the renovated library and had a milkshake. Now, for some reason, I just don't feel like compiling an ebook.
Looks like Halfling Moon's on deck, though. . .

Date: 2011-04-15 12:41 am (UTC)The point being, those of us who waited until late March to get the hardcover, now find that 2 weeks later we could have gotten it for a LOT less via e-books.

Date: 2011-04-15 02:41 am (UTC)We are conducting an experiment to find out if it's worth our time to release the backlisted chapbooks as ebooks. Steve has not been in favor, and it took some negotiation to get the go-ahead to try uploading a few. A new one, and an old one. Another newish one and an old one in the pipeline. We'll see.
In the meantime, you, lucky woman, had your book two weeks ago; you ordered it knowing (you did KNOW this, right?) that it was paper. Most of the people who buy the paper chapbooks buy them because (1) the paper chapbooks are autographed (yours is autographed, right?) and (2) because it directly supports the authors. We've been doing a Yule chapbook, in paper, since 1995. It is, A Tradition.

Date: 2011-04-15 07:12 am (UTC)As data for your experiment, I will buy any that I don't already have available in the Companions or Baen Unibuses, but not those I already have collected. If these newer stories were later collected, there's a good change I would also buy the collection, especially if a hard copy were available.
I imagine if the Yule Chapbook were available as an ebook around the same time as the paper version in future, that would increase overall sales but probably reduce paper ones. I'm not sure how the cost/benefit analysis works out for you (might be good to have fewer to post?) but if the paper sales are important, maybe 3 or 6 months later for the e-copy would be a good compromise for everyone.

Date: 2011-04-15 04:46 am (UTC)Can I request that you at least upload those chapbooks that were not included in Unibuses 1 and 2? I, at least, will definitely buy them.
I actually prefer having electronic copies of things to hardcopies, in many cases, because ebooks are a lot harder to lose. Also they have the truly excellent quality of being available for reading on a moment's notice, wherever you are, as long as you have a suitable device with an internet connection. Which unless I'm in a subway tunnel, I pretty much always do.
So yeah. Please tell Steve that you would have at least one customer for your chapbook backlist if you went to the trouble of making them available as ebooks.
Thanks muchly!

Date: 2011-04-15 03:04 pm (UTC)chapbooks list
Date: 2011-04-15 05:33 pm (UTC)One typo (so far) in Kindle version
Date: 2011-04-15 07:03 pm (UTC)I'm guessing "thatt" should be "that".
I've only downloaded the sample so far. This will turn out to be a mistake, since I'll have to wait for the full story to download when I hit the end of the sample... :)
bought (epub), read twice so far
Date: 2011-04-16 09:23 pm (UTC)Much as I like full length books I'll aways have time for your shorter works. Availability as an ebook means both easier on my hands, storage space, and stretches my limited budget, so please do keep it up!
Also, really enjoyed the chance to 'meet' another 'ordinary' person who does the best she can, and a very good best that is!
Sigh, have ot go with Anon since I can't remember pw for LJ. I'm mtz322 there if I can ever get in again.
