There have been books on my list that were released when I wasn't looking and I missed them for a period of time so couldn't help the author get that important boost on "opening day."<br /><br />That said, there are some best-selling indies who just release their newest. All their fans know its coming at some point. Case in point, I woke up to an email today stating the last book in a series I'd been waiting on released overnight. I snagged it first thing.
