Saludos!

Great idea. The book covers on the front page look nice too.

1) $0.99? Why so cheap? For reference the Kindle edition of "A Hunger Artist" costs $2.99.

2) Any plans of selling dead-tree books using a print-on-demand service like Lulu? Some of us still like the feeling of good old paper books. I realize it might be much more expensive but with print-on-demand you have little risk.

Hola!

1. We will probably be selling longer books a little bit more expensive. We can't forget we are competing against free ebooks!

2. Yes, we will sell illustrated paper books in the near future. And also t-shirts and all sort of things with your favorite illustrations.

Thanks for the feedback!

If you're selling books, you're not competing against free ebooks. People who buy free ebooks are not necessarily the same people that pay money for books.
