BILL QUICK EMAILS: “Well, it’s taken a while to get it pulled together, but I finally managed to retrieve the digital rights on my early cyberpunk stuff, and I’ve now got it all reissued as Kindle books at Amazon. I’ll be issuing all my short SF in digital as well, as soon as I can get it converted from dead tree. I’ll price the shorts at 99 cents a pop, and maybe also offer five-story collections at $2.95. I agree with that post you had up a few days ago – I think $2.99 is the sweet spot for reprints, definitely. I might go a buck or two more if I publish a new book in digital only format, just to see how it goes. That 3-tiered price structure is already in place, more or less. Publishers are just fighting over the price points now. The first short I’m going to issue is one I had in Analog back in 1989 called ‘Bank Robbery.’ In it I predicted the web, the collapse of dead tree publishing, and made a pretty good guess as to what would replace it. I just never thought I’d be living that damned story.”
