yeah, it's all pretty ridiculous. i have no idea if the format you're using works this way at all or not, but a little tip i learned from the malazan forums: a fan annoyed at having to wait months for the release of Stonewielder when it's AVAILABLE ON KINDLE FOR UK READERS (!!!) decided to try an experiment & went into his kindle settings & changed his address to that of buckingham palace. BAM, he could download it. then he just changed his address back, problem solved. as i say, no clue if that would work for you, but might be worth giving it a go.
and, yes, if it was up in the air, there IS a map of luskan. i can't make out a damn thing it says, but it's definitely in there
That reminds me of an experiment I did a couple cellphones back, when I discovered a particular ringtone "wasn't available" for my model of phone -- it was an mp3, and my phone would play those, but the phone company said it wasn't available for my cheap cellphone... I wound up finding a site where I could make my own ringtones for free, and never paid for another one. 
It sounds like something I would attempt, but, I'm a little weary.
With all the modifications I've made to the software of SagePhone, I'm just a bit hesitant to tinker further and, perhaps, disrupt everything else. |

| Got it. Looks good so far Erik. I am sure it will be an excellent read. I for one am very excited about ebook formats for realms novels as well as all books. I am looking at replacing my paper library with a virtual one, one book at a time. |

I am saddened that the publication rate of physcial (rather than e-) Forgotten Realms books appears to be slowing in 2012. It seems that we are moving to a situation where e-books make up half the Realms books published in a year.
I could buy a Kindle or some other reader, but I don't want to. I spend too much time in front of a computer screen already (due to my job) and don't want to read books for leisure on a screen too.
Way back in August I wrote (physical mail rather than e-mail!) to the head of books and to the head of D&D at WotC asking that they consider releasing all FR novels in paper format (even if they were published a year after the e-edition, in the same way that the FR hardback novels are published in paperback a year later) but I had no reply, which I think is a little rude  |

Apologies for the late post... I just stumbled upon this thread, which prompted me to write the following on Facebook:
I am so behind the times. I was browsing through Amazon to see the latest novels in the D&D line, and I kept coming across eBook after eBook thinking,"Where are the print editions?" A little googling informs me that they're gradually moving away from print... even with releases by some of their better-known authors that tie-in to major events, they've given up on print and gone eBook only. And apparently this is a trend across the publishing industry.
I guess at 31 years old I am officially an old fogey... I love holding a physical book in my hands, but it looks as if I am now in the minority. This saddens me. I don't think I can change with the times... no matter how great the device, I just don't find it comfortable to stare at a screen for the amount of time it takes to read a novel (not to mention the health risks... any electronic device gives off a certain amount of radiation, which is not a problem if you use it intermittently, but if you're staring at it for hours at a time...), so I guess I just can't read the books that I wanted to read.
They've probably accounted for that though... it seems as if there are enough readers who like reading eBooks that they can afford to lose the few old fogeys like me.
***
I apologize to the talented authors here whose works I really wanted to read... if for some reason they decide to print these stories, please let us know... I, for one, would definitely pick them up. |

Everytime I see a new post within this topic, I hope to read about a BOOK format release, but I keep getting dissappointed. :(
If this is the future of how novels will be distributed then I will just simply quit reading anything newly released and not support it or the companies doing it.
If they decide to release some sort of limited edition version of these novels where you have to pay upfront a larger sum for a book copy I'd order them in a heartbeat.
Maybe this is going to take another sort of technological breakthru with some sort of lower cost/economical version of paper/ink for the publishers to get back into printing BOOKs, but until I will continue to purchase from SOMEBODY who is willing to print books! |

Sadly, it's really not up to me, but up to the powers that be at WotC.
This is the official WotC thread about it (which I see CS has already posted to): http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/28209583/Open_letter_to_WoTC_regarding_eBooks?pg=1
I am still hopeful that we will indeed be seeing a paper copy eventually. It is extremely important that readers advocate for it, however, so if you want to see a paper copy, post in that thread.
Please don't give up on the book or the series.

Yep, I saw it linked to here, so I figured that was a good place to repost my comments.
I thought about emailing James Wyatt directly, but having your inbox flooded is probably not going to put someone in the mood to listen; hopefully he is reading the thread over there. |

I truly believe there should be choices and I am not trying to troll here. However, I always find it funny when folks are upset about being locked into one format for reading books. until recently, we have been locked into a paper format for hundreds of years
Ebooks could indeed be less expensive or at least less restrictive in their ability to cross reader formats, lending to friends, or just transferring in general.
At least readers are coming down in price to under $100.00
The novel, Shadowbane is most excellent by the way and you can download free reader apps for your PC, phone, etc.

I'm not sure I get that. Technology is supposed to move us forward, increase our options; the advent of computers, and the ability to share information digitally is a great advance, I'm sure all (especially anyone posting on a message board) would agree. So given that people were happy when an option was added, why shouldn't they be upset when one is taken away? |

valid point. People can and should like or dislike anything they feel the need to. My post was just providing my opinion (right or wrong). History and the evolution of technology is full of examples of one format or another coming online, working side by side of the older version, then eventually replacing the older version. records to cassettes, to cd's, to mp3's as one example. You can still get the older versions of your favorites, but not so much on newer content. Maybe one of the next permanent advances will be the removal of the physical paper format altogether for a digital version.
Again just my 2 coppers |

| I see what you're saying, but in those examples, the format of the media may have changed drastically, but the method of consumption hasn't very much; you can still listen to music coming out of a speaker just as your grandparents did. So the impact of those changes on the end user is less. With eBooks vs. regular books, everything has changed; you're now staring at a glowing screen (which, as I mentioned, has its own health risks), even the smallest e-readers are heavier than a paperback, even moderate damage to the e-reader may make it unusable (whereas it takes pretty much either burning, drowning, or putting a book through a shredder to make it unreadable), you're no longer turning actual pages, you now require some power source, and lending the book to a friend is a lot more difficult as many here have noted. I guess time (and sales) will tell whether all this matters to the next generation. |

I understand, Entro. If you feel strongly about it, I recommend sharing your concerns with WotC (see the thread I linked above).

It's pretty rough--a den of scum and villainy, run by gangs and rampant with disease, in need of a hero . . . which is exactly what it gets in my novel.

So I thought I would post an update on my eBook stance. I was given a Kindle Fire as a birthday/xmas gift a few days ago. My first impressions were not so good. In hindsight I attribute this to the fact that this is my first mobile device and I am not really used to them. It's actually a pretty slick device if you realize what it was built for. This is not an iPad but an eReader with tons of bells and whistles that work fairly well.
Anyways, I debated with myself over buying an eBook or not. In the end I decided I had to because somebody spent money on it, I need to use it or return it. So I broke down and bought Chosen of Nendawen, Book III. Sorry Erik, I've been waiting for this one for a long time, I'll get to Shadowbane next. :)
First off, I realized that I was saving money off the bat because the price is a bit lower than the paperback and I am saving on shipping. I still think the eBooks should be at least a dollar lower, but I can still digest them at the $6.39 price. Hardback eBooks (is there a more appropriate name for those?) still look like they will sell in the $15 range which I still find outrageous, so I will be waiting on a price drop for those novels. My argument that you can resell the paperbacks is starting to become moot. I tried to sell all 100+ of my paperback and hardback fantasy novels at several used book stores here in the SF Bay area and not one was interested.
As for my experience reading an eBook on the Kindle Fire. At first I was unhappy with it and again I will knock this up as me not being used to it. After two chapters though I have come to love the experience. It's so easy to book mark as many pages as you want and it is just as easy getting back to those pages. I can book mark the map page and easily jump back to it anytime I want to reference a location. You are given the ability to change the type spacing, font, borders, and background color. I think if I was stuck with the white background this would be a much different review.
To summarize, I have to say that this device blew away any notions of nostalgia in me over print books. Not that I ever had much nostalgia to begin with, but still I don't feel like I will miss them at all. My main gripe was the pricing which is still an issue for a lot of eBooks. Fortunately there are plenty of cheap eBooks for me to feast on. So if you are eBook curious I will say to jump in because the water is warm. If you are hesitant because of price, well jump in but don't buy those over priced eBooks. Stick with the $6 and under crowd. And finally, if you are still hardcore against eBooks and still love those print novels, well gods bless ye. But the future doesn't look bright for your crowd.
Cheers! |

Yeah, I figured as much-- I know I'm outdated and out of step with the mainstream. I'm resigned to the fact that I'll likely never get to read these books, as Wizards has little reason to put them out in print if, as seems likely, most of those opposed like you will eventually be won over. I'm content with being the oddball, though I certainly regret not being able to read these books.
Still, as much as you liked the various features on your first reading, I think I'm more curious to hear your reactions 2 months from now-- I'll be interested to hear how much you have read and how long you can sit with it for. To be honest, it probably won't change my mind, but I wonder if the concerns I laid out will crop up over time. |

Well, I don't think you are out of the mainstream. I just can't see how print media will survive. It will most likely devolve into a niche market much like vinyl. I think it really depends on how prices move for eBooks. If prices come down you can kiss print goodbye. If publishers continue to be greedy and push prices higher print will linger. It will be interesting to see if the publishers even stick around. They might be making their own noose by pushing the format into digital. The time is soon coming where an author can easily write and produce their own eBook and sell it on Amazon or their own web page.
As for my reading experience, I have a habit of reading in short spurts. It's rare that I will sit for more than an hour to read. On the average I read for about 20-30 mins at a time. So I don't see getting fatigued with the electronic display. SO I can't really speak for the experience of marathon readers who will go hours at a time. |

Completely understood, Caolin. I'll look forward to your feedback if/when you get to the novel.
I don't think the inflated price points are publishers being greedy--I think it's more owing to uncertainty as regards how to turn a profit. Publishers are still trying to figure out the right equilibrium of cost vs. sales numbers. Also, Amazon can tweak the price, so don't put too much blame on WotC or any other particular publisher. Personally, I think a mmpb-style novel should be priced around $2.99, no higher. I'm cool with a higher price for an expanded/enhanced ebook (which Shadowbane is, owing to a whole lot of extra pages of story, lore, samples, etc).
And again, don't give up on the hope of having an actual print copy of Shadowbane. Doing it as an e-book only is a big experiment. One never knows!

Ah, well, I think that does make a big difference. I've had no trouble abandoning print newspapers and magazines for digital versions, since individual articles take very little time to read (and nobody ever reads the newspaper cover to cover anyway). But with books... nothing I like more than sitting down for a night and reading through a third of a novel in one sitting. If I'm really engrossed, I'll finish even more. I finding reading in shorter bits diminishes the flow of the story for me. |

Well im at chapter 5 right now so here are my quick observations.
As always, you can tell Erik is a fan of the setting due to his attention to detail and realmslore, especially evident in the use of realmsian curses.
Having read the other Abyssal Plague novels, I get a tie in feel in this more than the other tie-in novels.
It feels like it could be a "Neverwinter" novel as well.
The ebook is amazingly handy (not an observation of the specific book, but it happens to be part of my first ebook experience).

| Not that I have a kindle but reading this thread got me interested and it would appear that Shadowbane is not available in the UK either which I find incredibly weird as the paperback/hardbacks have always been released simultaneously with the US. Truly Bane's bollocks are blazing! I am toying with the idea of getting a kindle but I've been reticent as it feels redundant buying the same book twice, this situation with regards to realms novel availability or lack thereof in ebook format only makes me more disinclined to switch. |

Chapter 14 right now.
More and more i get the feeling that Myrin (with her blue hair and painted blue lips) is somehow linked to Mystra in some way (the mortal shell of Midnight returned perhaps??) .... Time to keep reading... |

Some general thoughts on eBooks:
1) I would really like to see the eBook version included with the purchase of a MMPB/TPB/Hard Cover etc.
2) DRM has got to go.
3) For those of us that actually collect the print versions of books to keep long term... we will have to invest in our own binding process.
