As I said, it will depend on how much extra I have to spend on permissions for e-publishing and on whether the e-format will take my strange characters. Another problem will be getting the format to hold for the epigraphs. I don't want them to appear simply as a formless blob of words at the heads of the chapters. And I guess I'll also wait to see how much I'll be charging for the paperback. CreateSpace gives you a minimum which will cover their costs and give them some profit,and then you can charge whatever you want above that.Lorinda J Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16985567506994751475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843833519373801339.post-20239210801848091372012-01-12T15:11:23.168-08:002012-01-12T15:11:23.168-08:00Pricing the paperback and the ebook the same can b...Pricing the paperback and the ebook the same can backfire, particularly if the paperback is very expensive, as is usually the case with Createspace books. If someone prefers ebooks and yours is overpriced, they won't buy either one. The technique is being used by traditional publishers to try to protect print publishing. The result has mostly been a backlash.CS McClellan/Catanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12528100633458181090noreply@blogger.com
