      Any of the release pages, at least in a web browser, should say "Prepub expires: ..." under the author and other credits listing. I think it varies a little bit, but you could expect the prepub parts to expire 1-3 weeks after the last part is posted.

        Just to complement what @hatguy12 said a bit. You get there by clicking on a random part of the volume then you get the "Prepub expires: ..." thing.
        Though the first part (and sometimes the second) have it "Prepub Expires: Never" so be careful with that...

        ... and tbh an easier way to know these dates would be really helpful.

          I was going to say to look at "e-book release" on the release page but that seems to have been taken out?
          I'd also note that some series leave their prepubs up for longer than usual and you can still read them even if the complete volume is already selling in other stores.

            I don't think so... If I'm not wrong it's only not being updated frequently.

              @Pmf96 Old ones are still there but I'm pretty sure Smarthphone that came out today was there too and now isn't.

                @Paulo27 I'm not sure then... but those dates are kinda helpful so I don't think that makes sense taking them out...

                  Consider the dates... the soonest I might take them down.

                  I'm being very lenient in giving people time to read things as we're growing and maybe leaving stuff up longer, but once the ebook is out they won't be there forever.

                  I'm gonna work to make a better notification system and that sort of thing (maybe in combination with the newsletter) to make sure people are alerted before stuff goes down, etc.
