It appears that Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith # 1: Precipice has already been available for two days from mobipocket.com (you have to install their free reader, though). One minor setback, the book is not for sale to countries like the Netherlands, so I gotta do it with the free 3-page preview...

http://www.mobipocket.com/en/eBooks/eBookDetails.asp?BookID=179533

from mobipocket:
Don’t miss STAR WARS: LOST TRIBE OF THE SITH: PRECIPICE a FREE original e-book short story, the first in a series that tell the untold story of the FATE OF THE JEDI's forgotten Sith castaways, their battle to survive, and their quest to re-conquer the galaxy! PRECIPICE includes an exclusive excerpt from STAR WARS: FATE OF THE JEDI: OMEN (Del Rey Hardcover, available June 23rd) and offers a unique look into the backstory of events that will begin to unfold in OMEN. SURVIVAL—NOT SURRENDER For the ruthless Sith Order, failure is not an option. It is an offense punishable by death—and a fate to which Commander Yaru Korsin will not succumb. But on a crucial run to deliver troops and precious crystals to a combat hotspot in the Sith’s war against the Republic, Korsin and the crew of the mining ship Omen are ambushed by a Jedi starfighter. And when the Sith craft crash-lands, torn and crippled, on a desolate alien planet, the hard-bitten captain finds himself at odds with desperate survivors on the brink of mutiny—and his own vengeful half brother, who’s bent on seizing command. No matter the cost, Korsin vows that it will not be his blood and bones left behind on this unknown world. For the way of the Sith leaves little room for compromise—and none for mercy.

And that for just $ 1.00!!!!

Did Vector Vol. 2 actually come out on the 20th? I can't seem to find it anywhere locally, and most online stuff still has it as a pre-order item set for June 10th.

Updated to reflect that according to DH's website, DT 14 and 15 both got pushed into July. DT 14 was originally slated for late May, and DT 15 for June. With that, June has only 2 DH releases... and July only has releases every week - two weeks in the month have two releases. 7 releases total -- July is going to be a CRAZY month, folks!

Can anyone tell me why all the new books coming out are all hardcover? With the last couple of series there were a mix like one hardcover for every 2 paperbacks, now everything is hardcover. It makes it tough to buy and read the current books.

"Adaption" is not an English word.
Ahsoka is annoying; seeing "Ashoka" typed is even more annoying.
"Begs the question" does not mean "raises the question"

Printing costs are going up. With that being the case, it's more economical for the publishers to sell the trade-size paperbacks than the mass market size, and better yet to sell the hardcovers (if they can sell them). The other thing to consider is that a fair number of paperbacks are coming out - one, Blood Oath, was originally scheduled for May but has now been pushed back to December. That would have fit quite nicely in between books 1 and 2 of FotJ, and I believe that after this year, the spread goes back considerably toward paperback releases. They seem to have frontloaded the current contract with hardcovers. I don't personally think that making FotJ all hardcover was the best idea - in fact, I think making it all paperback would probably have been smarter - but I can see where they're at.

It's not so much greed as the way the market is changing. Sell 100,000 copies of a hardcover instead of a paperback, and your return on investment is at least double, perhaps more than that. And you still get the paperback sales afterward...

I understand the printing cost going up, sadly my income has stayed the same. Therefore I have to wait for the paperbacks to come out. That can be quite a long time.

You and me both!

As a side note, someone else will obviously be taking over the duties of keeping up the release dates and index... tongue

The date is in this thread somewhere. I missed it when I was collating everything for my final update before I stepped down, unfortunately. At least, I believe it is. It's also possible it's been stated in the official FotJ thread.
