Let me say again, I'm agreeing with you all, just throwing this out there for the sake of discussion
Yeah maybe, but I imagine you would be the minority, willing to wait out a year, and still remember why you wanted to read it in the first place. Oh wait, it was because the publishers publicity department told you about it. because I don't think you'd know it was there if the Author quietly released to it Amazon. Me thinks it would get swallowed up in the myriad of other novels in the same genre...
I wager the bulk of the reading public are impulse readers and are swayed by the shopping mall display stands, and think "wow this must be a good book if it's got a pretty looking pyramid"
you see my point?
Also there's nothing nicer then getting you first edition signed by the Author...
How's said author going to sign someone's Kindle...
