I do get it. I just don't think the people chosen for the roles fit my perception of the characters as described. I'm not saying they cannot act the parts. Just physically, they don't fit.

Well you are certainly entitled to an opinion, but you were saying putting those actors on the cover of the books would not work to sell books.
That is different then just saying you do not think the actors fit. |

True that. But I do think That once people read the books with the new covers (if they get changed) that some will think they don't fit how they are described inside. This is just my opinion and anyone else can feel free to disagree.

lol, well by then they have already purchased the book, so it does not matter
Also, no one will ever match what people think, everyone has their own opinion. This is why you never see an upclose pictire of kahlan on any cover. Terry did not want her on there. |

But yeah, they will have at least bought one of the books. I'm glad I got the original covers as I didn't get to have anyone else tell me what they look like other then the author since what's in the book doens't match the series (IMHO). |

actually Terry hated the original WFR cover which is why he had it redone a few years ago. |

Spoke with Terry again. Yes the book will be released in other formats once the exclusivity period is over. The deal with amazon was in exchange for a great promotin package for the book when it was released on the kindle.
HE will ask his agent for the exact length of that deal. See that is what agents are for |

Will the rest of the series be out as eBooks as well without any exclusive deals with anybody? One of the major issues with eBook sis series where we only get a partial set of eBooks. So it would do WFR a lot better in sales if the rest of the series was released. But they'd have to be released with decent pricing. No higher then $7.99 for sure. It wuld be silly to pay more for the eBook then the pBook.

I can not speak for the rest of the series and any deals that may be made.
I know one issue is Terry owns the rights to some and TOR owns the rights to some of the latter works. |

Yeah, I'd like to know about the rest of the series too. I hate it when only partial series are available -- I'd rather not buy any of them.
If Tor owns some of the rights, it's hard to see them being an obstacle -- they've been pretty pro-ebook so far. |
