We are at just over half the number of preorders I said I wanted in order to proceed (225 was the magic number ( Read more... )

Question, at the risk of being rude....

I've pre-ordered the physical copy. Is it possible to pay more money for another copy, even at full physical copy price, but this time a digital one?

It's okay, and I understand, if the answer is "no".

Not a rude question at all. I wish I could give a definitive answer. At WFC I talked to several people about how to do an eBook or digital copy of some sort. Given the uncertain future of WP, I haven't given the matter a whole lot of thought.

It would actually require more money on my part to produce a digital version, so right now it looks unlikely.

More money for digital rights, or more money for production? I ask because we've been doing some transforming to e-books recently, using Smashwords, and if it's just production that's standing in your way, I'd be willing to assist with time and skill... :)

Wow, I'd missed this... shweta_narayan March 18 2010, 03:43:45 UTC

Not sure how; I must have been living in a hole.
*goes to look up how to place preorders*

(And preordered 3 copies, cause that's how many I know people in my neck of the woods need. Will signal boost too!)

Very disappointing news, but I'm glad you're giving it a couple more days. And I know that you asked us contributors not to buy copies of P7, but you didn't say anything about the other volumes :-j I just ordered P1-P6, and greatly look forward to having them in my book collection again.

I've posted my thoughts at LundBlog: Beautiful Letters.

Thanks, John. I really appreciate it.

I'm also fairly encouraged by the numbers of pre-orders, particularly given that they were made with no assurance that the book would be published. I'm following Jason's example and picking up the Polyphony set. I have some but not all, had been thinking of doing this anyway, but also hope you will take it into account as support for the overall continuance of Polyphony.--Eric
