It's changed the way I look at my writing. Now, when I write a scene, I think about what songs would be good on a soundtrack! I can't wait to read Nightengale and get even more great ideas!Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16328973674012805812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-13046866691593202352011-10-28T12:31:35.030-06:002011-10-28T12:31:35.030-06:00Will you be making the book available in the Kindl...Will you be making the book available in the Kindle Store? If not, can you explain why not?<br /><br />If you will, will you be using the new Kindle Format 8, the old-fashioned azw format, or both? It sounds like the KF8 is supposed to provide an enhanced/interactive book experience like what you're describing, but at least at launch will only be available for the new Kindle Fire, and will never be available for some of the older kindles. (There's still no information as to whether it will be available to the Kindle 3 / Kindle Keyboard, which is an extremely popular device. It doesn't look like KF8 will be available on the K1 or K2, based on what Amazon has said...)<br /><br />Just curious what your plans are in these areas, as I have a kindle, and I currently do 100% of my reading on the kindle (will probably split between a K-Fire and my kindle keyboard soon). <br /><br />I do read a large number of independently published books, and while some of them are junk, a ton of them have been pretty good, in my experience. <br /><br />Also, I notice that on your website, you have the ebook for 7.99. I'm curious if you've experimented much with pricing for ebooks. I know J A Konrath has don a lot of experimentation, and even with a print history, he's found that he does best pricing at 2.99 (getting the 70% royalties from amazon, but getting *tons* of sales due to the low price). I'm curious what you've found in your experimentation, since you have a long history of traditionally-published books. <br /><br />Thanks!<br />~ErinErinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17307303411377488259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-90160302566779156532011-10-28T08:30:46.968-06:002011-10-28T08:30:46.968-06:00I like Dave's take on an enhanced book. That&#...I like Dave's take on an enhanced book. That's something my middle grade boy reader would love. <br /><br />About epublishing. . . there's so much to figure ot. I finally decided to self-pub some of my YA stuff because Amazon lowered the Kindle price so much I'm guessing more teens will have them. But who knows. I've started blogging about my self-pub story and had some interesting personal emails that were so supportive from other writers. It's like we're all holding our breath right now to see how this all settles. <br /><br /><a href="http://idevourkidbooks.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Life of Lois</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573354179519141077noreply@blogger.com
