When I first joined, there was a member who very aggressively argued that there is no value imparted by a publisher, and that digital rights software completely robs a digital text of value.
I could never understand that petulant and--in my opinion--incorrect stance.
Proofreaders, editors, et al, have a role and it can be important. Just like producers or A & R people in music, some talent must be developed.
My point is that I want more of the backlog released in a digital format. Preferably, sell it for $10.00 or so. Am not keen to pay $25.00 for an ebook because I hate doing it for a physical book. $15.00 is a high premium for their property occupying space in my domicile.
To clarify, by first-run I meant a nice, new hardcover copy, not necessarily pristine antique texts.
Think that I will have to bite the bullet and fire some emails into the ether at various publisher's websites, hoping that they reach the inbox that will do the most good.
