idk I mean tbh a pdf was how I read Twilight. And that certainly did nothing to deter its success.
Twilight's a bad example. They did
everything wrong, and yet
nothing they did deterred its success. So I have no idea what to make of that.
And I, too, am crossing my fingers and hoping that they edit the books for the re-release. That will make this entire discussion completely moot, and will mean that we can leave the e-books up without fear of hurting sales. Everybody wins!
I'm just paranoid that that won't be the case, and I want to stay prepared for every possibility.
I'm no longer so sure
what we should do about that, though. On the one hand, there may be current fans who would buy a re-release only if there were no e-books available instead, but on the other hand, there may be future fans who are enticed
by the e-books into buying the real books. Which of those two groups is bigger, is going to be the important question, here. I've been arguing this whole time that it's the first group, but I'm beginning to wonder if we can really be so certain . . .
