In short, the file size for eBooks was three times higher with the maps everyone asked for, and CreateSpace, the printers of the paperback, have lowered the maximum permitted page count quite considerably from last year. From 700 pages to 480 pages.
The cost of downloading an illustrated book from kindle of 12.3MB, for which they round the numbers upwards to 13MB, added £2 to the price.
The book was 517 pages and I had to lose 37 pages to meet the new maximum.
eBooks and Paperbacks have to match.
I am not happy and neither are many of those who followed the series who automatically suspect it was a commercial decision.
Damned if I do and damned if I don't.
