    i impressed my Fahter-in-law with my Kindle Sunday. He asked "Does it have Nelson Demille?" so I showed him the titles available and he found one he hadn't read yet! I think he's sold

    I have a kindle. Downloaded most of the free books, a few other recommendations, and recently got through Stoker's Dracula using text to speech. Reason: I wanted something to listen to while I drove to work. Without true intonation and inflection the delivery is somewhat flat. Too, there was a lot of Yorkshire speak that didn't translate well at all. In sections is sounded like Stephen Hawkings with tourette's.

    For me the 4th did an amazing job.

    I would think there is a huge market for those in HC. Maybe he is planing something down the road. Odd marketing plan on those.

    I think that is indeed the case.
    I only came as far as the first two, but they were only available in the paperback format.

    Only the 4th is in a mass market HC, I've bought them all as they have come out. Charnel House released or is about to release the 4th, are working on 5 as well and did his screenplay for Frankenstein in limited editions.

    I'm glad for that as I am not thrilled about the price of some kindle books - good example is Koontz's 'fankenstein' series. Good books; quick reads - I can get the paperback off the rack for about $5.99. The kindle version is $9.99 - that defies logic; shouldnt the eVersion be cheaper to produce and deliver?
    Publisher's will sometimes price the ebook version higher than the paperback if they are trying to move more units of the paperback. Usually once the paperback is sold out, or they've remaindered the leftovers, then they'll drop the price.
