Unfortunately, it's a lot of publishing-biz "inside baseball." For instance, one of my series is published by 47North Publishing, and Barnes and Noble (who owns the Nook) refuses to do business with them because 47North is a subsidiary of Amazon.
To try to make up for that, I make sure that my books are released without any DRM copy protection (which opens me up to getting pirated -- and I do get pirated, a lot -- but making sure my readers can read on the platform of their choice is important to me). That way, folks can use a free program like Calibre to convert my ebook files to the Nook's .epub format (or .pdf, or any other file format they like).

Craig Schaefer:
Faust is my second favorite, right after Dresden. While I agree with Caitlin that he is more a knight in tarnished armor, I wouldn't say he has crossed that line that would lead to total damnation. He wouldn't kill for fun or the innocent. Is there a greater unforgivable crime lurking in his past? PS - I reread the series before Glass Predator and it was worth it just to get the George Clooney/Iceberg joke!

Hi Craig, I loved the whole Daniel Faust series and I finished all the 5 books in 3 days. Thank you for the lovely experience. Do you plan to write about Caitlin in a seperate series? She has got an air of mystery around her and I wonder if you have any plans to give her more limelight.
