Sam Sykes » All About eBooks

Sam Sykes, author of Tome of the Undergates and recently released Black Halo, wrote a blog post about eBooks and why they're occasionally slow to come out. It's probably not terribly clear from my blog, but I read eBooks almost exclusively and it is very frustrating when an electronic release is delayed.

Still, Sam makes a great point - who wants a crappy eBook? Not this guy. So publishers everywhere, take your time, and don't release crappy eBooks. Thanks.  Read Sam's post for a much better discussion on the subject.

I mean, if you’ve picked up any eBook by now, you’ve probably come across one or two that look less like a work of fiction and more like the disjointed, erratic manifesto of a madman. eBooks tend to be riddled with errors and formatting problems of all kinds, largely because a lot of publishers are content to throw a .pdf file out there and call it a day.
