You might decide just to read on-line, for free, but you might also decide to buy the physical book, so that you can read it in the bathtub, or just read it at your own pace. Also, if people really started flocking to a website for a particular book (i.e. if an author became very popular on-line) then the website could theoretically at least pay the author for the rights to the book (and collect revenue through ads.) The other possibility is that we may decide to serialize the first ten chapters, or 20, and then tell people that if they want to keep reading they have to buy the book either electronically or in print form. I am considering that as a possibility for my novel on the Huff Post and for The Spiritkeeper here on MyStoryLives.

If I can read it online for free, why would I buy the book?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
