I'm with you on this one. Nate Send a noteboard - 20/09/2012 09:57:57 PM
The whole practice of buying the prologue in advance is strange to me. A three dollar price tag is no big deal, but I don't see any need to read part of a book in advance. I want to sit down with a fresh, complete book in my hands so I can read it from start to finish. That to me is a more satisfying experience.

Obviously the market of impatient fans is there, so they'd be foolish not to take advantage of it, but I'd rather wait since I know I'll be buying the full book anyway.

I refuse to pay $2.99 for part of a book that will still cost you full price Dark Knight - 20/09/2012 09:34:28 PM 1361 Views
Yeah. $2.99 Isn't really that much though, I won't buy it because the wait after it would kill me. *NM* Bergioyn - 20/09/2012 09:49:20 PM 427 Views
Yeah it's not much but it's the principle. They basically ripped you off *NM* Dark Knight - 20/09/2012 10:13:02 PM 395 Views
How so? Ripped off implies they are failing to follow through on some implicit offer Cannoli - 20/09/2012 10:23:36 PM 948 Views

I'm with you on this one. Nate - 20/09/2012 09:57:57 PM 840 Views
It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't charge you full price Dark Knight - 20/09/2012 10:11:46 PM 764 Views
me too, its like when people release two or three episode dvds and you have Yunalesca - 20/09/2012 11:32:35 PM 853 Views
Well, then don't buy it. *NM* Tom - 20/09/2012 10:18:44 PM 370 Views
I didn't...wasn't I clear on that? *NM* Dark Knight - 20/09/2012 10:42:05 PM 385 Views
And we give a shit, why? Cannoli - 20/09/2012 10:21:01 PM 868 Views
Evidently you do give a shit, seeing how you responded Dark Knight - 20/09/2012 10:41:33 PM 811 Views
Luckily you have a choice *NM* Sidious - 20/09/2012 10:32:24 PM 353 Views
I bought it, and it's because I understand the heart of the matter. DREWRULESWOT! - 20/09/2012 11:05:36 PM 854 Views
I have no problem paying $2.99 for... Nargs - 21/09/2012 12:56:10 AM 757 Views
I enjoyed reading the prologue. I'll pay full price for the book too And I'm happy. *NM* Narg - 21/09/2012 04:27:27 AM 387 Views
I love what Subterranean Press did with Sanderson's Legion novella. Bookwyrm - 21/09/2012 06:46:16 AM 884 Views
Actually, that's all Sandersons own doing. Bergioyn - 21/09/2012 07:09:19 AM 761 Views
I know, but the email is still sent to Subterranean Press. Didn't they make the ebook? Bookwyrm - 21/09/2012 06:40:32 PM 722 Views
Frankly, it's a win-win for me entyti - 21/09/2012 08:39:54 AM 933 Views
Eh, you could pirate the e-book prologue and buy the print book if the money's the concern Larry - 21/09/2012 09:09:39 PM 797 Views
Me too. It just irritates me. *NM* beetnemesis - 27/09/2012 05:29:39 PM 347 Views
If you deside to pay, you're paying for getting it in advance. I think I can wait a couple of months *NM* Lohikaarme - 13/10/2012 06:53:46 AM 548 Views
