In other book-related news, the eBook version of my Dragon Award-winning SF/horror novel Souldancer is now on sale for only $2.99:
Speaking of #FakeBooks, I noticed this on Amazon a minute ago:
I’m not sure what’s sadder–that Scalzi’s failed blockbuster is $12.99 in eBook, or that the hardcover has already dropped to the same price. Either way, with a preachy, derivative tome that Tor is charging as much for in eBook as in hardback, Scalzi has completed his apotheosis as the quintessential tradpub poster boy.
And remember, Dragon Award nominations close on Monday. Nominating is free, so cast your ballot today!

At $13 dollars an ebook, I better be buying the best book I've read in the last few years. Not some knock-off of a far superior castalia house book (Corroding Empire).
Yep. That's the reaction Tor wants people to have, too. They're pricing their eBooks ridiculously high in an attempt to drive customers back to print.

12,99 for an ebook? Is it an enhanced one with hyperlinks video music etc or just a plain ebook?
I'm sorry I gripe enough how ebooks in Spain are ridiculously expenaive but English language ebooks should be 5$ tops more for bundles.
