This has been asked before, but I still don't have a good site/system for this:
Does anyone have a good centralized-for-all-authors system for email notification when that author has a book come available in eBook form? (By which I mean both new releases and backlists.)
I have several authors that I like and watching them all individually is tedious in the extreme. Just recently I noted by chance that Margaret Atwood's "Alias Grace", "Wilderness Tips", and "Robber Bride" had come available in eBook form in the USA. I'd been running a search for those books once a month or so for almost a year, but realistically it's not convenient to do that for all the authors I like.
Bowker BIP is supposed to have a service that monitors and notifies you whenever a "new book" (including new formats) come available for authors you've searched for, but it's a paid service that I can only access through my work (who apparently has an 'all-employee' account with them) and the search results are exceedingly buggy.
Does anyone have a good system that works? Note that I'm really interested in the "self-maintaining / automation" aspect -- I'd like something that I can tell "Margaret Atwood" or "Of Love and Other Demons" and then I'll get an email when I can buy the book in eBook form. Etc.
