Dark Horse Digital purchases can currently be viewed on iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, an Android enabled tablet or smartphone or any modern web browser.

The first is that its release date has been pulled forward by one week from July 31st to July 24th.

The second change is to its published format: it is changing from mass market paperback to trade paperback format (the same format size of Karen Miller's The Clone Wars novels). The reason for the second change has been revealed by the book's author John Jackson Miller. Writing on his own blog Jackson says the the book will now feature his "maps of the places known to the Lost Tribe" and "include the continent of Keshtah, where the action occurs in the first eight e-books reprinted in this 432-page volume — and the map of a new, secret place that readers learned about in the eighth short story, Secrets. It's the location for the big new hundred-page plus novella, Pandemonium, appearing anywhere for the first time in this edition."

Jackson explains "these are the maps I was working on while writing the books — my fun Tolkien/D&D moment while designing this fantasy world. I'm thrilled readers will be able to follow along — the designer-improved maps are pretty handy!"
