if its from a major publisher, it'll be posted that night. within the week at the latest.

as for smaller pubs/indie authors it's hit or miss. once in awhile there will be some posted but generally due to the lower price or limited interest its not worth the time for one to post.

toddos is right about the pro quality of some of the pirate editions. theres pirates of things like David Gerrold's War Against the Chtorr series floating around out there (or so i've been told) that would be indistinguishable from a pro release (if one actually existed or the books were even in print....)


as for the amount of books out there, hard to say. even with stuff like piracy links go dead and nobody bothers to reupload them so those disappear too. its very fluid.

personally i don't know how romance pubs stay afloat, EVERYTHING gets posted. horror fans are the most rabid when it comes to posts. they'll go out of their way to scan and format loooong out of print horror novels and anthologies, thats really the only older stuff that has any life pumping through it.
