remove ebooks?

[estrid]

first: they are re-releasing the animorphs?! really?! when? (i don't have time to read thru all the pages, so sry if it has already been said)

second, don't take them down unless he is asked to. because if someone doesn't want spoilers they just don't read the e-books. its that simple. anyone else tho is already a fan so they already know what happens anyways cuz they already read all the books

[adamjared]

split as suggested.
(sorry if anybody's post was intended for the other thread, i moved them all after my own)

Good call.

But is this JUST about the Animorphs eBooks, or the Remnants and Everworld ones too? If it's about all of them, then maybe move it out of the Animorphs board or something... lol i dunno


EDIT::: OMG JUST READ FIRST POST NVM

Again, don't take 'em down. If we do, it'll divert members from our site to others.

Estrid,
     Schoolastic is officially going to rerelease the original series early 2012. It is speculated that there may be new cover art, but that's not confirmed. The only fact we have is that in early 2012, they will rerelease the Animorphs series. Then they will judge those sales numbers and decide whether to go through with Animorphs 2.0.

[estrid]

whats animorphs 2.0 gona be?

man i really need to start getting back into the animorphs thread

[Darth Revan]

They're not saying.

[estrid]

So 2.0 could be anything from the continuation of the series to a movie?

[Darth Revan]

Or sorry, it's a book series, but we don't know if its a continuation, a separate story, or a rewrite.

[Dameg]

Or maybe just a reediting ^^' We can't be totally sure...

I say take them down. I don't want us to catch some bad attention, or be enablers to people who may refuse to buy books when they can read ebooks. If the other websites disagree, we can't force them, but we can set an example for everyone. Not to mentione that, depending on how much is changed, the ebooks may become outdated anyway.

[Darth Revan]

All the more reason to keep 'em up. OG e-books, classics never die!

[Chad32]

I say that's a reason to get rid of them, if they become outdated, and you say that's a reason to keep them around? That's funny. A valid point, though.

[Darth Revan]

It's always good to have a reminder of where a series came from. Like when the rerelease comes. I'll have both my original Animorph books, and the rereleased copies above them.

Or sorry, it's a book series, but we don't know if its a continuation, a separate story, or a rewrite.

apparently truth's source confirmed (as quoted on hirac dilest) that it will be a reprinting of the original series and he isnt sure whether anything will be abridged to make it more current or anything

It seems like scholastic will at some point contact richard and ask him to take down the books. This will almost definitely occur before the rerelease if they have a single intelligent person at scholastic lol They'll want to handle this privately as best they can because companies gain nothing from lawsuits against the little man

They might also ask for us to remove everworld and remnants too since even though there isnt any money to be made off those books anymore they are still scholastic property so they would want to make sure we got rid of all copyright infringements now because if they ever needed to come back and ask us to remove them we could say oh you didnt ask us to remove them last time thats practically consent and make a big stink out of it.

So I guess just wait until they come to us

[Darth Revan]

That's just speculation though.

[Duff]

which part? the issue isnt whether or not scholastic will want the ebooks removed, the issue is whether we should remove them preemptively or wait for scholastic to approach us
