This is spinning out of the comments on yesterday’s Blog post regarding piracy. Of note to readers in Germany, the following titles are available for Kindle: Auferstehung (The Rising), Stadt der Toten (City of the Dead), Am Ende der Strasse (Darkness on the Edge of Town), Totes Meer (Dead Sea), Kill Whitey (Kill Whitey), and Die Verschollenen (Castaways).
The only one currently available for the Nook in German is Kill Whitey. I’m told that many more will follow for both Kindle and Nook in 2012.
Thanks a lot for the info, Brian, that’s great news.
I checked a little more thoroughly, and it is even possible to finally get all the english Deadite Press ebooks off amazon.de now!
Excellent, Max! That’s good to know. Happy New Year!
Same to you, Cheers Brian
Brian, any news on when the rest of your back-catalog will be available for the Nook? And don’t give me that look. I still buy the limited editions and paperbacks, but it’s nice to have an entire library with me at all time and not break my back doing it.
Mitch: I don’t have a firm date for you. Nook takes secondary priority with Deadite because, quite frankly, Nook only accounts for a small fraction of their sales (something I’ve heard echoed by several other publishers, as well). That isn’t to say they aren’t working on getting the other titles up there — they ARE. It’s just taking a while longer.
I recently got a Nook Tablet. It’s a brilliant device, and I’ve been buying what’s available. I’m so glad your titles are eventually coming over here. I’m also glad that Deadnite is not hurrying. It suggest they are going to follow through with a clean, well-formatted product. (And of course, in this business it’s probably always better to follow the bigger money piles first.)
I suspect sales are going to increase for a lot of authors over at Nook/e-BN in the next several years. A lot of Nooks were bought this Christmas. And I’ll gushingly say it’s the most expensive, most funnest, bestest toy I have ever owned.
(All of this “brilliant” analysis coming from a man with a generational weakness for the Edsels, Betamaxes, Atari STs, HD-DVDs of the world. This fucking device I’m holding will probably lose the next consumer/format war. I’m terrific at getting television shows cancelled, too. Stupid genes.)
There wouldn’t, by any chance, be Spanish editions of your work available, would there? I mean, along with German?
It doesn’t matter to me one way or another, but I have friends who only speak Spanish and, if they can get Stephen King’s work in their own language, I think it’s only right that they also be able to get yours. But that’s just my opinion.
I met these Spanish people when I lived in Southern California.
Anyway, I don’t know very much German, even though someone in my biological family knew how to speak it. Unfortunately, he only did so when he was angry, so I know all the German expletives. Or ALmost all of them.
I know a lot more Spanish than German though.
Terminal was published in Spanish, but that edition is long out of print.
