Ebooks Announcement Discussion

[PaulB]

Just out of curiousness, which restrictions with amazon are you talking about?

As Antmusic says, I am not able to buy ebooks form the amazon site without a US credit card and address. There is an Australian Amazon ebook site but the selection is much less.

[Blu Gilliand]

Thanks! Please give us a couple more days to work out all of the kinks before you post if you can -- thanks!

I've got the post ready to go. How does Friday sound?

[Antmusic]

I think he means because he is from Australia, Dan.

I am just starting to having only recently purchased my iPad. Given the restrictions with Amazon this is where I will be going to in the future. Your CD launch of ebooks could not have come at a better time!

I have 3 more titles I will be uploading tomorrow. I think you guys will be very happy with them. One of them is a pretty big title.

Are many of you using the iBookstore for your iPad/iPhone, etc? We posted The Painted Darkness last year as a bit of an experiment and sales via Apple have lagged WAY behind Amazon and B&N:

Keeping my eye on the iBooks store now to see when they pop-up. Not there yet...

[Dan Hocker]

Good news everyone! Apple's software has decided to work, so all of what you will be able to find on B&N and Amazon are now also on the iBook store, or will be once the transition time is over. You should see them all start to pop up over the next couple of days. I will let you know when they start appearing from my end.

[Brian James Freeman]

We have about 50 projects in total in the works with more deals being signed every day, so we'll see how many of them we can get out there this year. LOTS more good stuff to come...

This is great news - so many good books that were hard to come by are going to be available to a lot of people now.

Brian, would it be okay for me to go ahead and talk about this on the blog? I know you haven't made an "official announcement" yet, but this seems pretty public.

We're still working on getting all of the titles listed for the official launch of our new eBook line, but for anyone who wants an "easy access short cut" to watch for our eBooks on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, here are two short cut links I've made for you:

Barnes & Noble: http://bit.ly/CDeBooksBN

Amazon: http://amzn.to/CDeBooksAmazon

Save those somewhere and you'll always be able to find our books easily.

Also, if you have any trouble with these eBooks, please email Dan so he can look at the files, etc. Thank you!

[JJ Holden]

Very cool, guys!

[Brian James Freeman]

Of course, none of this is officially announced -- we won't do that until the titles are showing up in most of the stores we've submitted them to. Watch for the official news later this month. There are A LOT of great titles to come that aren't ready just yet... some of them might surprise you!
