Reading Series
How many of us read series, and won't start reading and/or purchase a book if the complete series isn't available?
The reason I'm asking...
As most of you know, I've been frustrated because two books in a particular series are not available in ebook format. One is available only from Amazon, and in Topaz format, and one just flat is not available. I wrote the publisher via their website, and this is the reply I received:
"Thank you for your inquiry regarding the availability of Penguin Group (USA) Inc. books in digital format.
We are currently involved in the massive effort of converting as many new and back list titles to ebook format as we can; however, there are many challenges inherent in the process of setting up the ebook business. We do hope to provide our customers with every title that they wish to see in electronic format; however, we are not able to specify when each and every one of them will be made available.
Thank you for taking the time to contact us."
Does this sound like a bad case of BS to anyone else? And hasn't anyone bothered to point out to them how many sales they're losing by not having complete series available? Or is it only myself that is that anal retentive?
