This means your husband gets 0% royalties from us.
The best thing for your husband, and other authors, is for us to get publishers to abandon this delayed ebook release practice that is most definately hurting these authors.

And one thing we also do is browse the eBook shops to see what's new and what's on special and if the book isn't there, we don't see it and may not know it even exists. So we don't buy it because we don't know it's out there. I'm not saying we would buy it because it;s an eBook. But we won't if we don't know it exists.
Since getting my 505, I've bought very few paper books. And the paper books I have read have mostly come from the library. So really, Daithi is quite correct.
