Ultimately a publication requires the same amount of resource to write, regardless of the format.
Warhammer books in kindle how to#
I worked for a publishing company around the time ebooks and digital magazines were starting to emerge and there were lots of really interesting debates about how to price digital publications in comparison to physical ones.
Essentially publishers have decided ebooks are worth the same as print books, and that is VERY unlikely to change. For print costs are printing and storage/distribution, but for ebook value is seen as higher to the reader due to instant access when you want to buy it. Essentially there is a balance of value vs availability vs costs. This is more a general publishing comment than just black library. Morever it's even easier cause you pratically realise the script when the book is created to be sent to print. In any way it doesn't affect the digital version, that should be cheaper evn only considering that you don't have to print them, but once realised the file you're ok. About The warhammer end times books (GW ones, not the BL) even if it existed the soft cover about them I wanted the hardcover complete version of them and I bought all 5 of them (and they were quite more expensive) even if only almost limited editions. I decided for example to by the Warhammer chronicles about End Times when I was not anymore able to find the hardcovers of the original books (and I had the BL Nagash book one only). Softcover, Hardcover and limited editions have always been on the market. Would agree that it's incredibly frustrating though.ĭoesn't change the feeling anyway.
It's because BL release a hardbacked version of the book a few months before the mass market paperback and the ebook is priced to match that.
AT this stage I'd honestly avoid buying anything that isn't in a collected volume (GW has another 5 or so coming out next year for Classic fantasy alone)Īh! Got the wrong end of the stick there That would be pretty sweet if it were the case. I still really love actual books, but with limited storage the ebook is a godsend.Īnd remember a lot of classic stories are getting put into cheaper collected editions (which sometimes also have short stories not published any more or are only published in things like a battletome or other release). These days a lot of my general reading books (novels) are bought in ebook format - its just easier on storage space.

Plus it lets you easily read in dimmer conditions or full dark without the glare of a backlight (like LCD screens) and much more clearly and easily than using a stand lamp to read a paperback. The Paperwite built in light is also great you can set it very dim or bright to suit the environment. Kindles are fantastic and if you've not yet used one then the e-ink is really outstanding compared to plain text. Otherwise yes you will miss them on the shelf, but the ability to carry hundreds/thousands of books stored on the kindle itself plus get access to everything you've purchased direct from Amazon with even a weak internet connection - that you will find fantastic! Heck go on holiday - on the trains - to a friend - wherever you go! Just make sure that you buy them from the Kindle Store (ergo on Amazon) and not from the Black Library itself and you will be fine!
