Try looking at it from the authors and publishers point. If peopel are not buying them, why bother releasing more?
They are certainly not going to put them all out at once and if the beginning ones do not sell will not bother ot put out more.
Did you people ever think that your tactics hinder you from gettign what you want instead of helping you and it may be why you are not gettign full series or more books?

Right now, we have no guarantee that the rest of the series will be available in eBook form. Until we do have that assurance, it does make sense to hold off purchasing WFR. Would you purchase book(s) in a series not knowing if you'll ever get the complete series? book series in eBook form have been a problem. There are lots of series out there that are just incomplete. We don't want this. We don't want incomplete series. Sales would do a lot better if we could get all the books. The WFR would sell a lot better as people dip their toes into the series and if they decide they like it, move on to purchasing the next book and so on. But if people see book 1 and don't know if they'll ever get any of the others, they may not purchase WFR until the others are available.
It is not a case of "If WFR doesn't sell well the rest won't be out". It's a case of "If the rest are not out, WFR won't sell well". We've been taken advantage of for too long in regards to series and not having The Sword of Truth series complete would just be one more issue and sales will show this. Now if we have a guarantee that the rest will be released, then that's different. But as it stands, it's saying "If you do not purchase WFR, then the rest will not be released". But even if we do purchase WFR which most of us cannot (bad move if you need sales to put out the rest of the series) we have no way of knowing if and when the next book will come out and then we are back to square one if the next book comes out as well. Terry needs to commit the entire series in order for for salkes to be good. If he doesn't, then sales will tank.
