My next stop was to the site store, where I was dismayed that the books were sold out. Thankfully there was the digital version available.<br /><br />I personally felt that the price-point for the digital download was rather low. I would have happily paid $5-$10 for each download. The added benefit of a digital copy is that I can put the images in my phone and read it whenever.<br /><br />Of course I still want a physical copy, once those are back in stock ;>Stephen VanWambecknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706740183287064694.post-42589274941848273902010-04-06T05:51:42.010-07:002010-04-06T05:51:42.010-07:00Kal has a point but at the same time there are a l...Kal has a point but at the same time there are a lot of us who really honestly prefer to have physical copies (some people don't want to sit and stare at their computer screen to read after all) and happily spend the extra money to have them. The beauty of your digital downloads is that people can get a real taste for what you're creating and decide that yes, they want to be able to see this book on their shelf. And as an added bonus you can include extra stuff in the physical books like concept art and what not as a way of saying 'thank you' ^^Kat Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14733682921266302969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706740183287064694.post-67870571550500907032010-04-05T22:03:42.523-07:002010-04-05T22:03:42.523-07:00Erg, sorry about that...

I hadn't really thought about what it would be like from the perspective of people who had already bought physical books. 8 ( I didn't mean to shortchange anyone... I wish I'd had the digital sales up sooner, but I didn't even have the idea for them when we first got into self publishing. <br /><br />Hindsight is 20/20, as they say. <br /><br />When it comes to profits, the digital book sales are all profit - it doesn't cost us anything to make the downloads available. The physical books, though way more expensive, have extremely narrow profit margins for us because the color printing is very costly. <br /><br />Again I feel bad for people who might have preferred the digital sales prices before we had them available... But at least for the rest of our books from here on out, we can offer both choices. 8 )Dave and Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130094950442524472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706740183287064694.post-57089649804688701322010-04-05T21:57:15.609-07:002010-04-05T21:57:15.609-07:00One thing that kinda bugs me...why are the digital...One thing that kinda bugs me...why are the digital copies worth a 90% discount? I mean, I'm all for more people enjoying the awesome world of the Dreamkeepers. But I'm gonna be fairly honest, I feel like the early adopters are getting kinda screwed here...<br /><br />I love having a physical copy of my comics. Always will. But...if it's going to be 900% more expensive, it's really not worth it.<br /><br />Now, obviously, you're saving a ton on publishing fees. How much of a profit would you make per copy, then?Kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13005996591649093843noreply@blogger.com
