WD stopping?

Probably obscured by the Visions cover.

I'm sure that this has already been mentioned but there is no mention of The Hobbit / LOTR on the weekly magazine? Just WHFb and 40K.

I think you are right. I noticed that as well from the first (top portion) teaser shot GW released.

So much for GW treating everybody on equal terms (people from Australia know something about that *looks at price tags* )

Yeah the gall of them charging extra for shipping when they have that teleporter machine....

People who only have a PC and don't have one of those other devices aren't the ideal audience for ebooks. Currently, if you are selling your books without a print version, you are cutting out a portion of your potential audience.

In fiction, this isn't normally an issue- you have a smaller audience and that's the end of it. But this is a case where some of the rules to the game that we play aren't available to some of the players (unless they change their habits pretty drastically).

I'm pretty sure that the day is coming when e-books are a medium for everyone, but acting like they are now is alienating a portion of their audience.

The answer would be to sell the stuff in PDF as well so folks can print out the relevant pages for the game and bring them along.

I wasn't talking about them charging for shipping. That's a no brainer. I ment GW making the PayPal option available for other countries but not for mine. Also the limit on the new WD distribution (not available from newsagents). I've been buying WD for over 16 years, but now, unless they change something about the current situation, I won't be able to continue buying it (sadly we're not all blessed with having a s**tload of GW stores and independant stockists around every corner).

Ok, this just popped up on my local GW store's FB page. I'm not sure if this has been addressed already, but if this shows the size of the mags side by side...



... then I have a sneaking suspicion where the 'extra pages' have come from. I could of course be wrong and it could just be the way the image has been created.

Thoughts?

[Psychosplodge]

Well they kept it quiet didn't they?

[eldargal]

I really hope that isn't to scale.

[Psychosplodge]

Combined with a price rise, its looking worse and worse.

[RuneBrush]

Lol, it's been sized so that it's easier to convert to a digital publication
