I'd generally have no qualms paying my share for proper ebooks, but I'm a bit worried. Some "official" translations have been very painful.

The only Yen Press products I've read were the first few Haruhi novels, and those were quite well done. Fairly well received by the fandom as well, and that's no mean feat. Don't know if the same translation team is going to be handling NGNL, but it at least gives me enough trust in YP to buy the first novel and see for myself, rather than waiting to rely on the online opinion of someone whose only interaction with the official translation may be that it caused them to get miffed that they can't read it for free on BT anymore...
...Or who might be a YP employee, for that matter...
Now that I've got a steady income again, it might be time to buy the rest of those Haruhi novels...
