For various reasons, I'm keeping an eye at the torrent sites.
Several of them have a sidebar that displays "recent searches", and during the last few hours the search phrase "tom stone vortex" has popped up at several of those sites. I guess I should be flattered. Perhaps we should arrange a pool where we can bet on the date when the book will become available as a torrent? |

Hi there and Welcome!
it must be a disheartening sight to see/hear your hard work has become a peer-to-peer file share. When I read your posting, I was reminded of the electronic book I got my wife. Wouldn't it be interesting to look at making Vortex available as an ePub release. Unfortunately, the only way to get it on the Kindle or Nook, unless the author publishes it, is to scan it in. That seems to cut the author out of the revenue stream (assuming that once scanned, someone is likely to 'release' it somehow). I don't pretend to know the tip point in this sort of calculation, but we are moving away from paper and ink toward eINK and electronic readers. I personally enjoy taking my iPAD or iPOD Touch and review magic videos (from my own DVD's mind you! . I actually have the TW books AND DVD's. But the DVD's are more readily accessed when I travel. Again, welcome and thanks for all your contributions to the art. Doug |

Excuse my Fred Flintstone question but...
what is "torrent"? |

Doug: Fortunately, the work has not appeared in pirated form yet.
Regarding the ebook format, I myself seldom read ebooks that are more than 50 pages on screen - I'll prefer to print out longer texts. Reese: You can google the word "torrent". In short, "torrent" is an electronic file transfer protocol, which has become the favorite method for distribution of pirated work (movies, software, books etc. ) |
