I think so. At the risk of yet another analogy ... there was a time (long ago) when I used to shop (a lot) at Robinsons-May and Circuit City. Then, I decided that they had lousy customer service, and so I stopped shopping there.
The loss of maybe $5000 a year at R-M and $10000 a year at CC, I am sure didn't even put a dent in them. But then, over time a funny thing happened. Apparently a lot of people got fed up with that sort of treatment. R-M sort of went away, and I understand that CC is in a bit of trouble.

And, the question was answered. So, in an albeit roundabout and childish way, he did give us all the information we wanted.
So, all-in-all, we learned some valuable stuff:
1. Ebooks will be forthcoming, likely through Baen.
2. TOR isn't going to say anything else about it.
3. www.tor.com isn't tor's website. For tor books, click the "Looking for Tor Books" link, which will not take you to the site for Tor Books in e-book format, because those will come from Baen. Probably. Eventually. Stop bugging us! Sheesh, just shut up and eat your ice cream!
4. Tor's Editor-in-Chief doesn't understand that people can become passionate about books. It's a laughable concept.
That's about all I need to know, and I don't regret bringing that out in the open. |
We'll see what happens. As I mentioned, I'll start reading those authors if and when enough of their books are available in eformat that it makes it worth it (to me) to read them. I've been through the frustration of starting a series not knowing that I would not be able to get any of the sequels before (PJF Riverworld). I am simply not going through that again.

Right back at you, darling.
No matter what you toss at me, I'll still love you tons.
