Now this is how I like to support bloggers! Thank you and I'm excited to read this.

Congrats!!!

My favourite bloggers have published on my favourite topic!
I will buy the book, but after my upcoming exams, or else I will not be able to resist reading your words rather than my study material!

With much love

Downloaded the Kindle App, signed up for Amazon, and bought an e-book all for the very first time just so I can get my hands on this! Can't wait to start reading it on my ipod touch whenever we don't do anything in class. It does feel weird seeing no pictures while browsing through the ebook. I'm just so used to always having screencaps while reading DB posts.

live shoot madness. thanks. I was just wondering abt that yesterday. with master's sun ep airing after shooting some scenes a few days before..

Congrats dear javabeans and girlfriday *throwing out confetties and chilled wine in a bucket or rather bottles of cold soju

$1.99 price = 35% royalties = $0.70 royalties
$2.99 price = 70% royalties = $2.09 royalties

this is a pricing mistake in my opinion. $1 more will not matter much to the fans are willing to buy the ebook (that's a price of a soda).

But to the author (javabeans and girlfrieday), it's the difference between $0.70 royalties and $2.09 royalties. That's $1.39 difference.

I will wait for the book to go up to $2.99 so you will get more bang for your buck before buying.

....Most fans here would be very willing to pay an extra $1 so you can get $1.39 more in royalties.

p.s. Congratulations on the success

That's AMAZING!!!

Follow up note.....you can get advise on the pricing info from Kboards writers cafe

Easy to register and make a new thread....

Most people there who have been self-publishing successfully would advise you to change the price to $2.99

The ebook is 95 pages and a lot of hard work/research. That is worth the $2.99 price. And we fans love javabeans/girlfriday, that the $1 extra we have to pay is worth paying for.

LOL.....As a reader, I am advising the author to INCREASE the price...That's how strongly I feel about this.

p.s.

If you change the $1.99 price to $2.99, please do it at Smashwords too because of Amazon Kindle TOS agreement. If you price it at $1.99 in Smashwords but $2.99 in Kindle, it would be a TOS violation.

Third follow up (since I feel strongly about this).

Here's Smashwords pricing data from 120,000 titles. They have found that pricing at $1.99 is the worst thing an author could do according to their data.

So, for example you'll see in the chart that $.99 is 3.9x. This means that a $.99 book will on average sell 3.9 times as many books as a book priced over $10.00. A $2.99 book sells about 4 times as many units.

Note how books priced between $1.00 and $1.99 significantly underperform books priced at $2.99 and $3.99. $1.99 appears to be a black hole.

I just bought mine. So excited to read it.

to javabeans and girlfriday, look like most people advise you to increase the price:

Has anyone from the Philippines bought one? I'd like to buy the book from Smashwords but it'll be my very first "international" online purchase so I hope someone can guide me through it. LOL

Congratulations on the launch! Would you consider making it available through the IBooks app in ITunes? My friend and I are creating a Korean drama club at our school and this will be a great reference to have more insights on dramas

Congratulations!

I'm about half-way through, and just want to say that I've chosen "ajusshiness" as my Word of the Day. Thanks!

Congrats! I just bought my copy and will read tomorrow (my body weren't yelling at me to go to bed already--it thinks nine hours of k-dramas in a row is enough for one night).

I prefer books made of ink and killed trees over pixels and photons, not to mention this will make a great reference for my writing, so may I print out Part One (and all subsequent parts) for my personal use?

Congrats Javabeans and Girlfriday! I've been looking forward to reading this! :D Can't wait until parts 2 & 3!

congrats!
already bought mine... off to read now.

Congrats ladies :).

I bought it! Thanks for writing a book! I'll be sure to buy parts 2 and 3 if/when you release them! Thank-you guys for all that you do! Us Beanies love you!

Bought a copy of your book over the weekend! Congratulations on your book launch, JV and GF! Looking forward to the rest of the series!

Hi. I just wanna say how much i love you guys website and i can't wait to read your book. I was wondering if your book was available via hardcover or printed because i don't really like ebooks. I know im picky right :P i just think that books are better and they don't die on you at like the most crucial moment.

Fantastic reading, thank you. Embarrassingly cheap too, feel free to charge more for the subsequent parts!

Can we read this on the computer? I don't have any of the devices listed, and I've never bought a *digital* book before (I know I could have said e-Book but whatevs)

You just reignited my kdrama addiction with this ebook! Great job! Thank you! Will be anticipating part 2!

I bought the book. Loved it. Now I'm waiting for part 2. And I'm asking you guys to phrase answer:

1) Do Koreans really sleep in their daytime/regular clothes? I've seen a couple of statements in interviews that make me think they do such as "[insert idol name here] just ran in and started stripping his clothes off and fell into bed". And in the drama "Because It's the First Time", the characters don't understand why another friend is always in his underwear when his parents throw him out of the house. They don't understand his answer "They always wake me up to put be out." Another friend pipes up to explain: "He always sleeps in his under pants".

2) It is killing me to know what the weird devices are in hair salons. I'm not talking about the ones that hook up to the curlers (although those do look like something the Borg use to attach the Borg Queen into her body); but the space-age looking thingee that has three circular parts (arms?) that pass over the head. I've googled it but I can't describe it well enough to get any results. I have screen captured it but it doesn't seem like I can post the pic here. It's beige in color and it has (holes? lights? ). Maybe it's holes for air, however, I've never seen any windblown effects as its passing over the head (haven't seen any lights coming out of the holes either fir that matter). Most recently I saw a youtube video with Rain sitting under one of these machine with his hair in twists (foil wrapped twists I think although the finished results had no color highlights so maybe not foil). The end result was very fuzzy hair but no curls or twists.
