In fact, BEGGARS may be the novella version, too. It was published as a chapbook, as was "Dancing on Air" and "The Price of Oranges," also stories rather than novels. My agent says Tor controls the electronic rights to some of my novels. I'm looking into this.Nancy Kresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834410304227906387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695280310697378421.post-51871134941037667202008-10-02T22:10:00.000-07:002008-10-02T22:10:00.000-07:00It's a bit too expensive for me, at the moment, al...It's a bit too expensive for me, at the moment, although I admit it would be nice for a book-whore like myself to be able to save some shelf space in my space-limited home.<BR/><BR/>I'll admit to rather liking the feel and smell of books in my hands, however, so I'm probably harboring some bias against it.g d townshendehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273940169271398206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695280310697378421.post-76799730632491173852008-10-02T08:16:00.000-07:002008-10-02T08:16:00.000-07:00Hi Nancy,I just checked and found that many of you...Hi Nancy,<BR/>I just checked and found that many of your books ARE available in Kindle editions.

David Weber's latest <I>Honor Harrington</I> hardcover included a CD with <I>all</I> his previous Baen-published works and that was impossible to resist.<BR/><BR/>Now, I skip novels that don't have an ebook version. I'm converted. The only exception I make is for nonfiction/reference material. Such as your writing books, Nancy.<BR/><BR/>It took a while but once I got a decent reader (not the Kindle but same screen size and technology) I found that I didn't miss the feel and smell of paper. And I love being able to carry an entire library in something the size weight of one paperback. I won't go back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695280310697378421.post-88630271118489994252008-10-01T17:23:00.000-07:002008-10-01T17:23:00.000-07:00Hi Nancy!I would love to have a Kindle, but one of...Hi Nancy!<BR/><BR/>I would love to have a Kindle, but one of the features that makes it so wonderful (the ability to download books any time, anywhere) is functional only in the U.S.<BR/><BR/>No, ebooks will never be the same as paper books, but sometimes function is to be valued over form. I'm currently living in Japan now, in a rural area where English fiction is limited. With the rise in shipping prices overseas, I find that most of my book-buying is in the form of ebooks. And if I happen to come across a book I particularly enjoy, then I often find myself buying a paper copy as well (to be shipped to my permanent address in the states), resulting in two sales for the author.A.M.

I'd think that making backlist titles available would be in everyone's interest, but maybe someone is balking at the set-up costs or somesuch? Or authors and/or publishers are wanting to reserve their rights until they know for sure what the dominant eBook setup is?Mikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09896071323040163718noreply@blogger.com
