I'm a Kobo ereader user. (As an overseas librarian, I dislike Kindle's proprietary attitude, and avoid them.) I noticed only a few of your books were available in the Kobo store. I remember years ago there was an independent site that had many of your ebooks, but I'm not sure they're still working. Is there a chance that Spirit Ring and the Baen books would be available in non-Kindle epub format sometime soon?

My direct-placement e-books are all currently available in Kindle, iPad, and Nook versions. There is some doubt among the people who help me with these things that Kobo is a large enough vendor to be worthwhile; this may change in future.
The old Fictionwise got bought out and eaten by Barnes and Noble. So all those placements are long gone.
HarperCollins does seem to have my fantasy novels up in the public library Overdrive system. I don't have a clear idea about how that is working out. I would like to get my direct placement e-books out on there as well, but that is waiting on finding out more.

In the World of the Five Gods, we know that a sorcerer who kills with magic will lose his/her demon to the Bastard. Imagine that the sorcerer uses magic to weaken a component of a bridge; the bridge collapses and people die. Does it make a difference whether the collapse happens immediately, 5 seconds later, 5 minutes later, 5 hours later, 5 days later? Apologies if this is already answered somewhere.

Did you write Ethan and Labyrinth at the same time? Ethan clearly comes first but Elli mentions an 8 foot tall bioengineered super soldier in it. Was it your decision or GG's that Enrique should lose his Escobaran accent? I suppose he could have lost it in the 4 years between ACC and Flowers...

I've been reading Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London books, partly due to your enthusiastic recommendations. Thank you - I'm enjoying them a lot. However, I wonder if you've read the short, between book, pieces Ben calls moments? starting with 'Nightingale: London 1966' http://temporarilysignificant.blogspot.com/2016/08/moments-one.html?m=1 I imagine you'd enjoy them. Maybe you have some Moments of your own to share?
