Fiction Elite Dangerous books release date

[CareTaker]

On the Amazon it is announced that Elite: Nemorensis, Elite: Wanted and Elite: Docking is Difficult will be released on May 15.

Is this a realistic date?
Does this mean that this is also the date for ED release?
Will all the books (also from Fantastic Books Publishing) be released at the same time?

 

[Susimetsa]

The release dates of the FBP books have not been confirmed yet, but I think they will be relatively close together, at least.

 

[Michael Brookes]

Gollancz have set the release dates themselves, so they should be reasonably solid.

The book releases are not tied to the game's release.

Are the books going to be released as paperback at some point?
I am bit old fashioned and prefer an actual book to a digital version.

Marcus would know for sure, but the Amazon web-page says Hardback and Kindle at the moment, so "not initially" is the answer, but a physical product will be around.

Still on pre order for hardbacks

Yes, no plan for paperbacks at the moment, but £9.99 paperback-size hardbacks (discounted by your retailer of choice, of course...)
