This a great idea and I’m eager to see how this new paradigm works out, but I simply can’t afford the $65.75 price tag, which is the cheapest option for me here in the UK. I’m sorry that I won’t be able to support this new paradigm, because I think we need to be trying out new things like this.
I wonder if you’ve considered providing cheaper options for just the chapters, or an eBook version at the end, and maybe limited access to the site? I’d consider a cheaper option, but would only really want to pay no more that £5/$8. It not that I don’t value your work, or appreciate the uniqueness of what you’re offering, it’s just how much money I have to budget for my entertainment!
If you had variously priced alternatives, it would be good market research for this new paradigm to see what the uptake was on the different options.
The Elite edition is a privately-printed, individually numbered first edition signed by the author, and is frankly, as such things go, a comparative bargain. People will pay $50 for a computer game; we’re offering something vastly more unique in what we believe will be a real treasure.
That being said, we are looking into the possibility of releasing an ebook-only version of ‘Eventide’ but this would not take place until next spring in 2011.
In the interim, you might consider the audio book version we are now offering. The full subscription is only $15 USD for the entire book or you might want to purchase a single chapter for download just to see if it is something you really want to spend some cash to acquire.
