Attention Book or Ebook Readers

Sounds a bit like the way I write my books. I never want them to end. I've done 5 e-books myself, and you do have to have something called "a book" to upload it. Where do you start from? An intro, then a few chapters at a time? Or just upload the intro, and fire off the chapters, like a subscription? It could work, but you'd wind up with a trail of people to send the new chapters to, and a lot of keeping track of people and things. From a writer's perspective, it could be quite a hassle. For readers, it would mean getting periodic downloads, and they'd have to wait for the new stuff. A few chapters a week could turn into quite a workload for the writer, too. Not quite the same thing as a single book or a series. I've done three in a series and am working on a fourth. The books form "chapters" of a bigger story. Admittedly, some formats, like soaps, whodunits, and some humor, you probably could do like that, because you can separate incidents and events, like screenwriting. Don't know if it would necessarily work for big storyline things like HP or some of the modern saga-type books.

sounds kinda cool... how much it cost?

seemed like a good idea at first, like a series but never having an ending will make it boring and dragging dont you think?

I become impatient with long newsletters I receive in my email. I can only stare at the text of a document for so long. Although the concept sounds intriguing, I'm not sure whether I would read it. I have not gone the e-books route yet. I love holding a book in my hands when I am reading it. But the chapter a week soap opera type of deal sounds neat.

It depends on the kind of book it is. It depends on if it is free. It depends on if it is well-written.

I was actually looking in to something like that for my latest e-book however would leave out the last 3-5 chapters and then would have make the people buy it in order to get the remaining chapters which if the information was powerful enough I'm sure they would. Many authors of different e-books out there have release the first 1-3 chapters of their e-books for free with the same intention of people wanting to buy the complete thing in order to complete their reading.
