FlickrNot Providence: The World Turns
Part Nineteen is up. Exeunt Book One, with a discussion of nerves.
Next week we'll have a little break for you—still Not Providence but not quite the same sort of thing. Then the following week we'll get on with Book Two. Thanks to everyone who's still reading.
Now, a weird question for you here, more a curiosity than a matter of urgency.
Say that this site were to start offering, for a small fee, a collated PDF file of "The Insider". There would be very little difference in content between the two versions (I'd give it another check for grammar, and get rid of a couple egregious redundancies, but leave the rest of it untouched), but it would be nice and clean and printable for those of you who want hard copy to put on the shelf or read on the couch or shred in a bout of anger. I would also make the rest of the Books available as they are finished (possibly a week or two in advance of the final chapters being published), both in individual volumes and in collected volumes with a slight discount (because that's how America does it, baby).
My question is: How much, to your minds, would be appropriate to charge? That is, how much would you pay for such a product? I have some numbers in mind, but I want to see if they jive with what the Intertubes would be willing to fork out.
That's all for now; enjoy the end of Book One, and the peacekeepers will see you next week!

A pdf would provide unlimited copies, right? Hmmm... Would there be any point, in your mind, to comparing a pdf and kindle books' pricing? They seem to be about half of a printed book's cost. I know nothing about POD pricing yet but anything that provides unlimited copies seems to me to be a little more valuable than kindle. Kindle seems to be the equivalent of 'renting' whereas POD seems to be more DIY so ... maybe 1/2 to 2/3 of a comparable printed book's purchase price. What about artwork? Would there be any in the pdf? That would matter. Without art, 5 or 6 $$$, with art, maybe more.
