New ebook scheme for indie bookshops from Angry Robot

[Steph]

Hello all,

I thought this was interesting - UK publisher Angry Robot has introduced a scheme called Clonefiles, whereby people who buy a physical copy of an Angry Robot book from an independent bookseller will also get the ebook for no extra charge. It also looks like they will be DRM-free...

Definitely DRM free. Angry Robot is anti-DRM. They've got their own e-Book shop selling them direct, DRM free.

Oh and good for them in general. Trying out new business models, having an Open Door for writers without agents. Definitely a pin-up for me. :)

This reminds me, when we bought the hardback version of one of David Weber's Honor Harrington books, I think it was Ashes of Victory, it actually came with a CD of not only THAT book, but the previous ones in the series.
