Okay, done. They were relatively inexpensive, so I was able to purchase 5 of the 9. Good luck to them.

Ah, that was also what I kinda expected.

We're now in Day 3, however, and nothing new on their blog this early a.m.

Only $178.57142857124857142857143 needed for each day.

Let's hope they make it.

Buying ebooks won't help in the short term, because FictionWise pays publishers quarterly (~45 days after the end of the quarter). At least buying an ebook before Jan 1st helps in the 1st quarter of next year.

I have seen several here say that they have gone to Fictionwise to get some of there books. I'm not sure if that will help with their short term cash flow. Will it?

Updated link to their progress (they moved blogs). Apparantly they are not doing well.

Hi.

Someone left a note in a comment on my blog about this thread. I've read through it and to say I'm...touched would be an understatement. I really appreciate the support!

I dunno if mobileread.com caused the Apex website to crash, but I do know we got a lot of traffic from here.

I'll try to pop by whenever we have a new e-book out. And I'll definitely snoop around the forum...

FW pays those out quarterly, so the purchases didn't count toward the sales tally. But rest assured every purchase made by the Mobileread.com people is appreciated!

Well don't be suprised if you get a massive influx on your next quarterly check

Keep us in the swing on new publications! And of course you are welcome just to come in and hang out too

I'm glad you cleared that up. I was afraid you were Keyser Söze. (If you don't get the joke, don't worry. No one understands my sense of humor.)
