The kindle has picked up A LOT of steam. Though it could just be a fad and be dead in a year, who knows. Will Planet Stories ever adopt an ebook format? I'm not talking PDFs here like the Pathfinder stuff, but legitimate ebook distribution. |

they've said that the contracts for the early books did not include digital formats (of any kind). Who knows what Mona and Sutter are cooking up for future releases.. I think it would depend on the author though |

Kirstov is correct that there are many books we do not currently have digital rights to. That said, we're definitely interested in getting Planet Stories e-books up and running... it's just going to take some time. |

As a Baen fan, and a follower of e-books since Bookeen first hit the market with the Cybook... I seriously suggest that once you do start offering E-books... make the EPUB format available... despite amazon's big run with the kindle the .epub is looking to come out on top compared to the .mobi for the industry standard. I'd defintely like to have e-books... My Cybook is no where near full... where as my walls are running out of places for built-in and movable shelves... and they'd be competing with my gaming books. Also, PF books might be nice to have in .epubs or .mobis... |

Although, to be honest... I'd almost rather Paizo go in with Baen for electronic rights than compete with them for it... webscriptions is a great format for things... and they already have a good background in setting something like that up. They already do distribution for other small publishers as well. RPG material is something they lack... (the 1632 rpg book was horridly done, and I feel bad for Eric Flint... even though he supported it...) So it's very much a area where perhaps two companies that do individual things really well could work together instead of trying to compete... especially when both companies would be trying to compete in a area that's not their primary. |
