Pink Bullets Vol. 1 : Digital Edition NOW ON SALE!

Post by Pyongyang »

Hi all,

Now folks who bought the print version have received their copies, as I mentioned during the pre-order phase, I was contemplating putting a digital download out there for folks to buy who missed the print copy or just prefer a digital edition.

Digital sales would also help go towards paying for the store hosting (which is not free) and also any minor costs like my blog hosting etc. Anything extra would be a bonus and I'd reinvest it in the next volume of the zine due this Summer.

Before doing so I wanted to get your thoughts on this and if you would be opposed to me putting a digital copy out there for sale.

Let me know what you think! So long as customers/readers are happy, I'm happy!

Cheers,

Ian

I'm currently looking for a physical copy of vol 1 - having missed the pre-order - so I'd welcome any opportunity pick up a digital issue of the zine.
If digital sales help the site / funding of vol 2 (hopefully future issues too) all the better.

(E) Physical copies are not likely to depreciate and folks would always have a download option if (reseller) prices for magazines get crazy.

Definitely into this, since I missed the print. Any format you have in mind? Multiple would be cool (PDF, MOBI, EPUB).

Was shattered too miss this. As graphic designer who works in print media and loves shooters I felt like such a fool letting this slide by... I would love to buy a digital version!!

I'm not bothered essentially though I do wonder if its wise.

The physical copy is just so awesome and it would be a shame if a digital edition kills off future hard copies in the long run due to lack of sales on the hard copy and of course people sharing the digital edition.

Keep it physical. Why squander the place you've earned in the pantheon of literary gaming literature so recklessly? :)

Thanks Mr. Fudes. The vote I held recently across several forums and Twitter etc came back with a big YES vote so as long as folks are happy then that's cool.

Folks should check their inboxes though as I'm getting reports of it hitting spam folders. Also some emails are bouncing back due to attachment size limits being exceeded so I will contact those folks again tomorrow to make sure everyone who bought a print copy receives their free digital copy.

Thanks again everyone and here's to volume 2! GO! :D

Glad it's getting through though, even if it is hitting the wrong folder! Probably the attachment size I reckon. Better than a bounce back though. :)

Enjoy sir.

Thanks all! Glad to see folks like the digital edition. :)

Thanks for the cool PDF attachment of the digital version of Pink Bullets, Pyongyang. Printed it out as a 7-paper printout with both pages & assembled together in booklet form just for fun. It was a challenge trying to determine which pages go in numerical order but figured it out - easy as pie.
