Backlist, anthologies and publishers & authors making money
ok, I am a ebook junkie. i am trying to get as many of my favorite books in epub format and not having much luck finding sci-fi/fantasy books older than a yead or so in any format other than pirated pdf.
i can understand publishers reluctance to invest in making paper backs available for the prices they could get for them but what about making backlist paperback fiction available as anthologies. similar to what they did with Roger Zelanzeny's Amber series in a trade paperback anthology or Gene Wolfe's fiction. I would pay 7.99 to 10.99 for such an antholgy in kindle or nook format. Publishers and authors should be able to make $ on books that are no longer available in paper format....
