I've been wanting e-book versions of some of this stuff for a long time. It's nice having good books available from anywhere, and then there's the point that publishing/shipping/etc. costs are lower, and my hope that authors therefore get a better cut. I've already got Dzur on pre-order through Amazon, but webscriptions is inexpensive enough that I'm sure I'll get an e-book copy as well. (Probably /Issola/ and maybe /Dragon/, too.) I find e-books readable enough, and there's always the chance that they'll sell some ARCs as well. (Advance Reader Copy: early, if a bit pricey, versions of the book as it's going through copy-editing. I read /Dance of Time/ that way and while there were a few glaring typos, knowing that it was basically hot-off-the-typewriter manuscript prevented that from detracting from the experience.) Thanks for the heads-up. Max Wilson -- Be pretty if you are, Be witty if you can, But be cheerful if it kills you.
