E-book 2: Electric Jig

[jimhines]

For those of you wanting the next update on Goldfish Dreams [B&N | Amazon], I checked the numbers, and it’s selling 1-2 copies per week.  I.e., still not king.  So I figured I’d try something else.  Review copies of an e-book cost me nothing but the time it takes to send an e-mail, right?  If you’re a reviewer and would be interested in a review

Allow me to suggest Atlantis for use on ePubs. It can actually export to ePub - really cleanly - and you can then clean the file up in Sigil.

It's how I do it for publication purposes. Simple, refreshingly clean, and passes ePubCheck and Preflight every time. :-D

Goblins have tails?

Was that a rolled up newspaper, or a wagging goblin tail?

[beccastareyes]

I'm sure there's tails in the stewpot. (Probably too bony to do much else with them.)

[beccastareyes]

I'd buy more Goblin stories.

[jimhines]

Yay! These would be reprints, and some of them are available online for free, but I figured most people probably wouldn't have all five stories, and might like all their goblin-related shorts in one place.

I know myself, as a reader, has a 'gotta have them all' thing. I mean, I bought Jim Butcher's book of Dresden stories even if I owned all but the free ones and the original one. And the time I bought Miles in Love by Lois McMaster Bujold just because I wanted the short story in it, even though I owned the two novels in it.

(Is this unique to SF fans, I wonder?)

[mtlawson]

Trust me, no.

Think of baseball card collectors or "first edition" book collectors.

Or any collector, really.

I think it's worth a try.

We have to find a viable model eventually. Only way to do that is to experiment.

[margaret_y]

I'd buy that.

Good to know, thank you :-)
