Or right now for anyone who just can't wait for the next book. The eARC (a non-final version of the text, before final copy editing) is now available, ten weeks before the hardback appears and eight weeks before the final ebook arrives.

But it'll cost you. Baen's eARCs are $15 each. Wait just two months, and you can get the finished text for just $6, or less in the webscription bundle.

But if you just can't wait....

I confess to having bought one or two eARCs myself in the past. But at the moment, I'm willing to wait. It's nice to have the choice though.

And if other publishers want to make more money, it's things like this they should be doing — exploiting the opportunities to ebooks give for making money out of people who really want the books as soon as possible.
