More fun with ebooks

Just upload Misfits: Adventures in the Liaden Universe® Number Fifteen to Barnes and Noble and to Amazon.com. Did the housekeeping on sharonleewriter.com I meant to do yesterday. Deployed the InfoDump. Still managed to avoid the SRM bookkeeping, though.

I did forget to put in the InfoDump -- if you have a chance, we'd take it kindly if you -- you know who you are -- would post a reader review on the bookstore of your choice for the newly-uploaded chapbooks -- or for any of our books, really. Thanks in advance.

And now -- it's what time? Sigh. Now, a sammich, I think, and so to bed. Though not, may I say, early.

I like the little dragon resting on fingertips... first time we've seen him, I think?

Just wanted to let you know my copy of Skyblaze was waiting for me when I arrived home last night after a week away; needless to say it didn't last the night. Thanks!

Oh good. Another one I don't have via the collected ones. And now I have the kindle app I can get it as soon as they make it available.... Probably should wait to check until after work though...

On the physical book front I now have new shelving and my Lee & Miller books are now in pride of place.

Is there a list somewhere of what the titles are of the chapbooks? I picked up 1-12 via Baen, and now I see you're at 17, so obviously I have missed a few, but which ones?

Thanks!

So, what are the chances of compiling all Adventures in the Liaden Universe into a single, easily downloadable ebook (she says, pleadingly)? I don't mind the total price being essentially the same as the total for all the separate chapbooks, I just want them in one file.

chapbook stories at Baen?

What are the chances of getting the e-books currently going to Amazon & BN also getting published via Baen? I'm from Canada and prefer some of the formats available via Baen since I usually read on my phone instead of a dedicated e-reader.

I'm gonna hafta make a macro for this one, I see.

The current project is about making the SRM chapbooks available in electronic form as they were (and in some cases are) in paper. That being the case, it is Highly Unlikely that Webscriptions will accept a proposition to publish because:

1. Webscriptions historically does not wish to accept "micropayments"

2. Webscriptions historically Does Not Get "chapbook" as a unit of sale.

Additionally --

3. As I understand it, one does not simply upload things to Webscriptions, as one does to, say, Amazon, after creating an account.

Also --

4. Many of the stories (not the chapbooks, but the contents of the chapbooks) are already available from Baen and have been for years, in bundles that make them "big enough," in Webscriptions' opinion, for people to buy.
