I don’t want to sound rude or anything…but Stephenie
Why don’t you just put up the entire first chapter on one of your websites??
I just had a thought.
Yeah i get that if they want to read it they should buy the book and putting it online will male people not want to buy the book eclipse to read it. But People are already doing that. They just stand in the bookstore and read it.
So what difference would it make by putting it up yourself???

By the way i love all of your books. I’m a huge fan!

You would feel the same way and would want to milk everything you could out of fans if you were them, Jack.

No offense. I’m just stating a point.

I don’t feel bad for reading it online, because even though I read it online, I STILL bought a Special Edition. I just didn’t want to wait. She still got my money.

I’m sorry, but the publisher should expect something like this. I”m so sick of buying something when it comes out, and then later the publisher comes out with a “special edition”. The big companies only do this so that they can squeeze more money out of the public. They do it with books, dvds, cds, everything. Big corporations try to milk everything they can out of fans. They don’t give a crap about us and our finances, so why should we give a crap about theirs?

I do see where she is coming from but what about all the people who are outside the US and would have to wait for ages to get the special edition? Why can’t it just be released everywhere on the same date so this wouldn’t need to happen?

If it was just released everywhere at once then the people who post it on the internet wouldn’t have a reason to as they wouldn’t have lots of people downloading/viewing it.

It’s like if the movie isn’t released the same day internationally then people are going to turn to the internet to see it. It isn’t right legally but people have been obsessing over the movie and The Special Edition of Eclipse for ages and to be told you have to wait an extra day/week/month is just a slap in the face.

I understand and respect the copyright. And I specially hate how people posted Eclipse on the Internet, as well as it might happen with the release of Breaking Dawn. That’s not fair for Stephenie, or for the people that have to wait to buy their copies and see spoilers in Internet before the release itself.

However, I understand a little why some people read the first chapter of Breaking Dawn on the Internet instead of buying the copy. For example, a lot of foreign people CAN’T buy the book and can’t read the first chapter, ant that’s kinda unfair, too. The, the only way of reading it is downloading it from Internet. It’s still illegal, yes, but having to wait til August for the first chapter just because you don’t live where is released…

I really hate it when people spoil things for other people. Sure it’s handier than going to the bookstore but still. Also I had a problem where some blog (now been taken down) posted a part of my fan-fiction, trying to say it their own/the next book (my friend translated it for me, my spanish is really bad!). I ended up having to show the host site my original documents in order for them to take it down…it’s just frustrating when people do respect other people’s work.

It makes me angry to hear that people may be trying to put BD out early,
(BTW, not going to happen two months before its released; Book companies can be downright nasty about book release dates.)
I mean- whats better than sitting down with a REAL book in a warm, cozy chair and a cup of tea? Besides, if you do that, you loose the new book smell.

I am torn about the first chapter thing, but when it comes to whole book, NO.

That is just really really rude. People think they can do what ever they want. It’s completely inconciderate. Gosh it’s a good thing Stephenie was there to totally tell them whats UP! lol Its just sad that she works so hard to bring us these amazing books, and people just take advantage of it. Ridiculous People.

p.s.Robert is Hott with a capital HOTT!
