There may be the odd issue that we spot in the Magnakai books that also affect earlier books--unlikely, but possible.The same argument can be made with Books 26-28 in place of Books 8-12. We can easily make another release of Books 1-3 if we spot such an odd issue in later books. I prefer "Release early, release often." over "Release when everything is perfect."
Kind of, but each sub-series has its own distinct rules. I'd say it's better to be completely happy with 1-5 and release them all rather than release 1-3 with a view to maybe re-re-releasing 1-3 alongside 4 and 5 next week.
Are we offering each sub-series as a separate download (e.g. Kai1-5, Magnakai6-12)? If not, now might be the ideal time to do that, should we opt for the first scenario.Does this really make sense? Who would want to download only one sub- series? Has anybody ever made such a request? If not, then I don't think it's worth the effort.
We do have a download to get all of the books in one go. This makes sense for a longtime fan who has just rediscovered the site, or for if we re-release a lot of the books in one go. Thus, having a download for each sub-series might be advantageous, since we can fix a couple of things across each sub-series and re-release all the books in one go as an easy download for the fans.
We would also be releasing the books in Simple and Less-simple formats, of course. Ingo, what are the chances of getting at least one or two of the PDFs ready for release alongside--or shortly after--the re-releases?The chances are good.
I am definitely looking forward to these. :-) -- Simon Osborne Project Aon ~~~~~~ Manage your subscription at //www.freelists.org/list/projectaon
