Amazon has this for pre-order in hardcover only, with a button to ask Baen to release it as an e-book. Is Amazon wrong, or is Baen (the whole company!) nuts, or what? Have I missed something? (Please don't tell me the easy answer, I'm serious.)

I see no button. Which country's Amazon are you speaking about? Buy your ebook from Baen, feed the publisher and author, not the bear. $9.99, as usual, published August 4, or July 16 if you buy the monthly bundle for $18. |

Very minor nit you can by the single e-book on July 16th as well not August 4th for $9.99. I just looked it up to verify. Have fun, T2M -----------------------

Okay. Amazon, U.S.A., on the far right, "tell publisher you want e-book". I'll go look at Baen again, I only saw hardcover there, too. What "monthly bundle"? I'll look around some more, I seem to be missing a lot! Thanks. |

I'll look around some more, I seem to be missing a lot! Thanks. I know this is getting ridiculous, but I really want to pre-order this book, and I don't want to read it in clumps. I prefer to devour books whole, in one sitting. Anyway, this is what I saw on Amazon again, just now, 4-7-15, 11:20 a.m. EDST: Product Details Series: BAEN (Book 1) Hardcover: 400 pages Publisher: Baen (August 4, 2015) Language: English ISBN-10: 1476780846 ISBN-13: 978-1476780849 Shipping Information: View shipping rates and policies Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #16,204 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) Would you like to give feedback on images or tell us about a lower price? Tell the Publisher! I'd like to read this book on Kindle http://www.amazon.com/Sword-South-BAEN- ... +the+south I will order from Baen direct when the book gets here (on Kindle), but in the meantime I'm still wondering what's up. |

Maybe that Amazon "tell publisher" button
is their standard form? Maybe they include it without looking at what the publisher is doing? HTM
