If I/anyone were to buy the ebook version now,
Would we get the reviewed/revised version when it finally gets updated?
Of course a book like this will never be finished. Even if all spelling errors were to be taken out, there would still be people who would want to edit the story, leave parts out or add other parts. One could say there's not enough traveling in the book or another would say there's too much sex in it.

You see that option 3 would probably be best and leave an excellent reading book. It would also mean that I have to sell at least 600 ebooks or almost a 1000 paperbacks just to break even on the editing.
That's a huge gamble to take.
Sure it's possible to edit it cheaper somewhere else but I just cant afford anything at this moment and I wonder if the niche market is big enough to ever make that money back. I'll be happy to invest this money once I sign a movie contract
To answer your question. Yes, i'll be happy to provide anyone an edited copy of an ebook because i do want the best for my readers. All it takes is proof of purchase and date by email.
