I downloaded the RC of Scrivener and really like what I’m seeing. I am about to start a novel this autumn and Scrivener could be my tool of choice. From my understanding the current beta expires October 10th. Of course I don’t want to be locked in a tool that I am no longer able to use, but I suppose by then you will have released new versions of Scrivener, right? Also I suppose that eventually you will release the final version. I think I have understood that it will be Shareware. Do you have any idea about the price range and how I will be able to buy the product?
Glad you like Scrivener enough to want to keep using it. Don’t worry - there will never be a time when there isn’t a working version of Scrivener available. I’m not sure when the official release will be (it depends on how long beta-testing takes), but there will be a new beta before October 31st that extends the expiry date.
And yes, you are right, Scrivener will be shareware when it is released. I haven’t decided on a definite price, but the price point I am looking at is $30-35, putting it in line with similar products.
