Same here, i'll be after an ebook version

The years 2014 !

Please let us know if this is a possibility in the future, quite happy to pay for this on iBooks or something

[Antiriad2097]

Its not just that. I wasn't taken by some of the earlier books, but this one looks interesting. If I paid a few quid for the eBook and liked it, I'd probably stretch to getting a hard copy.

I'm still waiting for word on an eBook version.

I am waiting on the ebook, £30 is a lot of cash for a book that will just sit in a box.

Ummed and ahhed for a couple of weeks then took the plunge and ordered. Looks great and a real keeper for the shelf

Have you made a decision on this yet?

Unfortunately, it's not up to me, it's up to the publisher. I've inquired about it, but haven't received an answer. I hope it happens.

[Antiriad2097]

I see. I thought you were self publishing and had the rights to do whatever you wanted.

Are they aware the lack of ebook is damaging sales? An inexpensive ebook is a no brainer impulse buy, but to stump up for the hard copy I want to know exactly what Im getting, especially since the previous books have been so US biased.

Just had this turn up in the office. It's good but very us centric.
