The update says, that despite giving a large deposit to the printer some months ago, he has still yet to get the books from them which he was expecting months ago. They are not picking up his calls, returning his phone/email messages. Not accepting his (sign for) letters). Also, supposedly he has had someone go around to the printers and they now have a different company name on the door.
The thing is, he can provide the digital copy, as he could for months now, to those that backed the digital copy only. Instead he is holding giving us digital backers the digital copies, His reason is he wants to send them when the real copies are also sent to the print backers - which could be many months further. - It makes no sense. I pressed him on this and he now came up with a different excuse, saying the digital copy is created by the book printer and thus why we need to wait for it. This unfortunately is complete horse shit. The files are created by the book designer who he has hired and should be available at moments request. When I said that to him , he retericked on for a bit then went on to say it was the designer that will create the file. I then asked what format the digital copy will come in, and he didn't know - it's a choice out of 7 options apparently which he doesn't remember?. . It just sounds fishy as all heck. I have not lost faith in the guy, but the shine is certainly wearing, particularly since some of the comments seem to be not quite truths which is reminding me of the ICP2 KS.
