I can't wait!

We are witnessing the dying throes of the publishing dinosaurs. Bring it on!

And in the meantime, I never used to buy hardbacks because they were too heavy. I am not going to switch to hardbacks from eBooks for the sake of four months.

I agree, but you can cut the parasitic and useless agents out of that loop for starters. The editors will be writers and vice versa, offering their skills to one another in a non-parasitic, more symbiotic way

An author can expect to see 5 - 10% after NET on any book. $3 is very generous
