Errant Story Printed Size

[Imp-Chan]

As I sit here and fix page layouts and so forth, it occurs to me that with the newly lettered pages we have the option to make the collected volumes at pretty much any size we want... or, more to the point, any size that you want.

There are a couple of options for this... so please let us know which one you'd prefer! Remember, producing hardcover versions of these books is prohibitively expensive, so the books will be paperbacks at any size.

Edit: What, no bickering? But bickering provides valuable data! Please bicker and educate me about your priorities... the last thing I want to do is go through and redo every page again because I learn too late that everyone wants something I left out.

Edit 2: Oops! I merged this thread with the one for my newspost in an effort to keep future discussion all in one place, and it lost the old poll results in the process. Please vote again if your result was lost!

Discussion thread for Update on Print Collection Progress

I voted same size, but solely because I like my book shelves to be nice and even. *laughs*

Yeah, I voted the same way for the same reason.

[Immanio]

I voted a bit larger, but original size wouldn't be bad either. My bookcase has a jumble of different sizes anyway.

I find that if the page-size is larger, I'd prefer the book itself to be thicker. I really dislike the huge page format but whisper-thin books that Burlew sells as part of Order of the Stick.

The original Errant Story books were well-rounded imho, but if there's going to be an omnibus SPECIAL version...

If there are any more books printed, they'll be printed together as a collection, but they'd still be individual volumes. The books would be about the same thickness as Errant Story Volume Two, possibly a bit thinner or thicker, but not by much. There'd be seven of them all told (I think, it's possible edits may adjust that up or down by one, there's a hiccup in the volume size that I'm still trying to iron out).

It is possible that the order of the pages in the first three volumes may be altered, but nothing will be removed, only ever added (for example, Poe has already finished some extra pages for Chapter One that space the dialogue out into something less reminiscent of a wall). The books will pick up in the same place at the start of Volume Four, so you COULD pair the new books with the old, but... I'm planning to price the collection so there's not that much difference between buying the four remaining volumes and buying the new reprinted set, and if you support the Kickstarter that we'll have to run to print them, you'll be getting the full set anyways.

Hope that clarifies a bit!

Voting for the ereader, but my Plan B would be to keep 'em the same size as it seemed to be a good compromise between readability and sturdiness.

Errant Story would be the first comic on my ereader but being black and white it should be perfect.

Have to add that, as a long term bookworm, it came as a hell of a shock when I realized I genuinely preferred reading books on the ereader to books printed on dead trees.

It will almost have to be a PDF file format, I'm afraid... the others just aren't suited to comic books at all.

I can't comment on other readers, but I've got a Sony PRS-T1 and it handles PDF's just fine
