zelda_pinwheel,
Yeah, we had a long talk about drm. I was totally lost about it at the time (back in November) and so didn't pay any attention. Vonda told me about mobileread a couple of weeks ago and so I've been perusing various posts here and now I understand about drm. I'm glad the BVC honchos made the final decision the way they did. To be honest, I think we did it this way just because it's a pain the ass to keep track of. We're an author's collective and have a lot of talent in different areas, but nobody wants to volunteer putting together a lot of legal mumbo jumbo that isn't going to make a difference and in the end will probably hurt us.
As for formats, Vonda and I are going to push for more formats. I myself am launching my book this weekend as pdf, but hope to have most of the formats I've learned about here available within a month. I'm trying to decide if I should delay announcing it until I've got all the formats in place. The book's been reviewed at a couple of places stating it's coming out on March 8th so I really need to have it out, but I don't want to turn people off. I've finally got the software figured out, but I'm not looking forward to reading the damn thing one more time to get it into html.
I mean, I'm podcasting this thing, I'm doing an interactive, serialized version of various bits of it, I'm doing yet another reading from it this weekend. I just can't stand living through Marla Gershe going off her nut again. I mean how many times can I go through catharsis already? It's exhausting.
Stay tuned.
And thanks!
