Do you buy eBooks, buy online or buy from brick and mortar stores?

Question

My newly released young adult novel Gameplayer: The Genesis Portal (Helm Publishing ISBN 0977820556) is mainly sold online at sites such as amazon.com books,
target.com books and barnesandnoble.com .
I was recently contacting about selling Gameplayer as an eBook and I'm trying to decide.

Answer 1

I buy and sell - buy most often personally for me on-line and most often for stock, in stores.



Would it cost you anything to offer it as an eBook? I'm guessing they have some figures for you, about why it's a good idea to go this route. Do you have an agent? Could you ask for advice? Maybe post somewhere or ask a question specifically about writers experience with eBooks. I know an individual that had short stories selling as eBooks - I think she got a percentage, but didn't have any upfront costs on her end.



And would the PR help? Would it be more? If so, might be a good plan.



Yes, congrats!

Answer 2

I mainly check books out of the library, but if I buy them I get them from stores. I have never read a book online--I might, I just haven't yet. I like to curl up with a good book, and my monitor is not conducive to doing that.

Answer 3

Both. If I'm in a bookstore, I generally just look around. If I'm buying online, I tend to go only to Amazon for books and I'm looking for something specific. Congratulations!

Answer 4

You download them off the internet, some you need to buy others are free.
