• Commented on Design changes
  Another long-time lurker who prefers the existing layout (though a nice mobile CSS would be nice). Nesting looks good, but usability-wise, it seems to cause as much or more problems than it solves, IMO. I think we do a pretty...
• Commented on Rule 34
  (regarding local SF specialty shops)...wish I still had one in Atlanta, but no joy. I love to support local stores when I have an option. I am spending time in Charlotte, NC recently (my gf lives near there), so if...
• Commented on Rule 34
  Hardcover pre-ordered; I'll get the ebook once the price drops to $9.99 (usually around paperback time). Sorry about the royalty cut, Charlie, but I expect you'll sell a lot more on Amazon at $15.76 than you would at J. Random...
• Commented on New server teething issues
  Ah, sweet...full OpenID login support! (note: this may have been here for awhile, but I hadn't checked recently) I'm myself again! grin...
• Commented on Amazon surrenders
  @75 kithrup...agreed. I have a handful of authors (our esteemed host among them) that I generally buy in hardcover immediately as they come out, simply because I know the royalty payment is larger on a hardcover. Cory Doctorow is in...
• Commented on Amazon/Macmillan: other perspectives
  allynh: There are other bookstores, both online and off. While this is kind of an inconvenience, I don't see it quite as Rome burning. Admittedly, Amazon is playing serious hardball here. I'm still rolling the consequences around in my head....
• Commented on Amazon, Macmillan: an outsider's guide to the fight
  @75, TweetDeckTV: Charlie found the Bing cache of Tobias' article, like @44....
• Commented on Amazon, Macmillan: an outsider's guide to the fight
  From the WSJ article @ http://bit.ly/dnSVIz "By setting their own prices, publishers would be able to eliminate discounting on Amazon and elsewhere that they believe threatens the long-term business model of publishing." I've heard this tune before, methinks. Yep, long...
• Commented on Amazon, Macmillan: an outsider's guide to the fight
  While I agree with you that accountancy is weird, Charlie, at the end of the day, a dollar paid is a dollar paid, and a dollar that makes it to the author is a dollar that makes it the author....
• Commented on Amazon, Macmillan: an outsider's guide to the fight
  Interesting points, Charlie. This is a great thread on it as well. That being said, I think the portion of your subject line describing this as "an outsider's guide to the fight" is a bit disingenuous. You're an author, you...
• Commented on The sound of silence
  Palimpsest expansion sounds excellent, especially considering the comments you've made in this thread. "Time Opera", indeed! I can see how Glasshouse didn't make a splash; it's got a different feel to it than most of your other works. But a...
