The real way to make publisher listen is by hitting them in the pocket... Don't buy the book!
If publishers were smart, they would include a copy of the e-book with the hardcover with maybe a discount on back listed e-books.... |

This is just sad, damn publishers and their piracy paranoia. I think most readers who enjoy ebooks enough to purchase an expensive reader have decided to just buy ebooks. They don't want to lug around a weighty 1000 page hardcover, defeats the purpose of their reader purchase.
I don't think the ebook delay would help print sales at all apart from the most hardcore King fans who need the book immediately. They just lose christmas ebook purchasers who buy other books for their christmas hollidays. |

At least we don't have to wait a year, like we used to for paperbacks.

I would have to say it is more likely his publisher just going "Hey, we're going to hold off on the ebook for a bit, ok?" and him not doing anything to stop them.

...Not considering the number of disgruntled potential customers who would have gladly bought the e-book immediately but instead will just wait for it to be available for free from their favorite P2P network out of pure spite for this idiotic decision...

It is a shame because I really wanted to read this book. I started reading King when I was a kid in Jr.High. He is one of the reasons I am such an avid reader. I think it is absurd that the ebook is being held back until December.
As stated before the ideal release would be buy the hardback and get the download for a couple of dollars or free. Thanks a Lot Happy Halloween |
