I know very little about the questions you ask because an agent handled it all for us. Thank God. The work is certainly less for a publisher with an ebook and they get less of the profits. It is certainly faster because the average turn around for a print book now is around 18 months with the big presses and with an ebook just a few months. Beyond that, I am pretty much in the dark. Well, in a sense many publisher do do both in that most books now are available on Kindle and such. Thanks for stopping by Michael.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-22794969795576203002010-10-20T10:55:54.844-04:002010-10-20T10:55:54.844-04:00This is great news.

I am happy Mr. Ardai can continue his salute to the old pulp paperback format, while those of us who have run out of room and turned to e-books will get to enjoy the great stories and writers as well. I do hope the e-book versions will include the cover. I am picturing the Hard Case covers on my 27 inch Mac screen.<br /><br />pattinase, I read where your venture into e-books has been held up at the printer. I know the image of just downloading words and you have an e-book is too simple in this real world. How does a book get e-published? What differences are there between print and e-publishing? How does cost compare? Why don't more publishers do both at same time so to increase customer base?michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17812924049258701715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-12966203023166726972010-10-20T10:52:34.328-04:002010-10-20T10:52:34.328-04:00The covers are so important to this line.

But, I think the future growth of HARD CASE might be in the ebook market.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546161337366365635noreply@blogger.com
