Question about Words of Radiance and the release date of the new version.

Hi! New to these boards. I was wondering if anyone knows about when the new version of Words of Radiance with the changes will be released? I own the Way of Kings but haven't started it yet, and was looking to get WOR now that it is out in paperback. I guess the best thing to do would be to wait for the revised version.

If anyone can give me a rough timeline, I'd appreciate it! I tried searching but couldn't find anything.

Thanks!

Thanks for responding! I hate to do this to myself, but can you tell me the changes and on what pages, so I can check the copy I grab before buying? I know someone dies. I'm fine with knowing as long as I have what Sanderson intends. Thanks again!

To help you out with figuring out if your copy is a new one, the first two changes, according to WeiryWriter, are these. They are fairly early on, so shouldn't be too spoilery. It has a Hardcover and word document page number which I'm sure doesn't correspond to the paperback page numbers. Could someone with the revised paperback post page numbers?

 

Hardcover: PAGE 19
Revised word document: PAGE 12
Current:

She took it as the rebuke it was, and found herself blushing. Even her mother Navani could not do that to her.

Replacement:

She took it as the rebuke it was, and found herself blushing. Even her mother, Navani, could not do that to her.

Hardcover: PAGE 84
Revised word document: PAGE 104
Current:

“Toward victory and, at long last, vengeance.”

Replacement:

“On victory and, at long last, vengeance.”

Like Navybrandt asked, does anyone know the page numbers for those corrections in the paperback? That's what I'm looking to get. I'd certainly dig through a hard copy, but I don't think my local Barnes carries the hard copy anymore.

To save you trouble, all editions of the paperback should have the newest version.  The release of the paperback edition was one of the reasons Brandon went through with the changes.  It was meant to be the release of the newest version.

 

As for the audiobook version, if it happens it will be when Kramer/Redding come in to read Stormlight 3.

We might be able to get the important audio parts recorded when Michael is recording the next Mistborn books late this summer.

 

The ebook (at least in the US) has been updated. If you have the ebook and your copy didn't get updated, you may need to contact the customer service of your ebook company.

 

Like WeiryWriter said, all of the mass market paperbacks are the revised version.

 

No idea when the hardcover will get updated. Depends on reprints.

I had a conversation with Peter about the kindle version. I ultimately had to contact customer support to get the update, so anyone with an American (I don't know if that extends to all of North America or just the US) version of Words of Radiance who has as of yet to receive the update, do the same.

 The conversation in question for those who are interested - I reactivated the twitter account so it'd show up (I don't really know how to navigate/use twitter, as I made the account for the sole purpose of asking this question), so hopefully this helps some people.

I actually went and compared some of the pages and realized that the paperback version was the new one, prior to coming back here and seeing these responses. Thanks for responding everyone! You've been a great help. Hopefully others will make use of this topic as well.
