Grabbed Skyblaze and looking forward to Halfling Moon!
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.
