Having converted to mostly reading eBooks these days, I learned about these "serials". You don't see that in the printed book world - at least I never ran into it. So up until a few years ago when I went digital, I never knew these half-finished books existed.
I did read one serial that I enjoyed. Wool. But I didn't realize that it had started out as a serial until after I had read it. I bought the eBook that contained all of the previous parts, not realizing that that was what I was doing. So I lucked out there. And it was a good book. But I would never have even started it had I known what it was initially. The author would not have gotten one penny of my money. Authors should take note of that (not that they care what I, a single individual, feels). Wasn't Wool one of the first serials that made it big? I seem to remember reading that somewhere (after I had already read it).
