I have to say I'm very disappointed to see Random House going with the agency model too. Luckily for those of us in the UK, and because of the ongoing OFT investigation, Random House UK operations are for the time being staying out of agency.

Me too....
I'm very glad I have a pretty sizable inventory of "evil-6" e-books bought at reasonable prices before agency pricing. Putting that together with small press, PD, and even a few p-books from the library and used bookstores, I figure I have at least 3 or 4 years before I need to even vaguely entertain the idea of buying another "evil-6" book. And maybe (although not counting on it) things will be different (hopefully better, not worse) by then. Still, I'm sad to see RH go. Last edited by sufue; 03-01-2011 at 08:07 AM. |

I think who is not on that list is more important then who is on the list. One of the companies that I deal with on a daily basis is Harlequin/Gold Eagle and they are not with the Agency model.

Well - I just canceled 4 Pre-Orders. I didn't cancel Land of Painted Caves but I'm trying to get up the moral gumption to do it.
It'll almost certainly be out on Library Overdrive - right???? |

abookreader - that's easy enough to guess. If your library has the others in the series in ebook format, then they (almost) certainly will get Land of the Painted Caves. And if they don't... they won't.
