Here's the IGN review of the first official, Disney-approved "canon" book. Apparently it's a filler for the time between Episode VI and VII. http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/09/04/star-wars-aftermath-reviewFrom what I've read so far about that book (including an interview with the author somewhere else, forgot where), I'd rather have Zahn's Thrawn-trilogy back*. *back, as in, official canon.
Why men throw their lives away attacking an armed Witcher... I'll never know. Something wrong with my face?

$14 for the Kindle version of a $20+ hardcover book is about standard.

I've never paid that, but then I don't buy hardcover books either.

In pre-Kindle days I did all the time. I have dozens of hardcover novels I paid over $20 for.

Yes, and I still maintain that my Kindle purchase DID doom them.

In addition, the painfully pro-homosexual sidebars referenced in several reviews are offensive to many (including myself); for that matter, Star Wars books focused on sexuality/sexual identity/contemporary social issues of any sort is at best an unnecessary distraction. Combined with the weird use of present tense throughout that I have seen in the excerpts, I think will give this a pass. Also, I think books such as Lords of the Sith and Heir to the Jedi are also considered official cannon, so Aftermath is not the first.
