I have made my second book (The Synoptic Problem: A Way through the Maze) free online for that reason, and I'd love to see my other books online in kindle versions etc. for free. One of the ways forward is simply to ask the publishers for electronic versions and to hope that, in due course, they will press ahead.Mark Goodacrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115370166754797529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5759844.post-19905223705422508702012-03-23T16:25:41.913-04:002012-03-23T16:25:41.913-04:00Vaguely germane below. . .It's always so frust...Vaguely germane below. . .It's always so frustrating to see books that aren't available in a digital edition, though the 6 buck price tag eases it somewhat.<br /><br />I've actually read "The Beloved Disciple in Conflict," but have not read the Skinner work it is addressing ("John and Thomas: Gospels in Conflict"), for exactly that reason.<br /><br />Since you are both web savvy enough to doubtlessly see the problem, but soon to release a book with no electronic edition I can find, perhaps you'd share where the breakdown is occurring? Is it at the publisher?<br /><br />The first outlet to offer an ebook subscription service for academic books is going to make an awful lot of money. If publishers don't coalesce into some sort of operation soon, Amazon is going to become hegemon.Rick Sumnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10284073533968750655noreply@blogger.com
