Michael is wrong. "Let's face it, the only people really interested in
eBooks are those whose real interest is limited distribution for a huge
profit. . . .eBooks will go the way of the Wang word processors and their
copies."
Ebooks are here to stay. My book HOW TO BUY LAND AT TAX SALES is still
selling for $30 in hard copy. The ebook version is selling for $15, and its
sales performance is better than the original even though it is only being
marketed from my site.
If Michael meant only "ebook DEVICES" as used by major distributors, my
opinion of them is about the same as his... They are not needed, and should
disappear.
ebooks break down the barriers between author and reader. A good author can
INCREASE the value of the books being offered while slashing the cost of the
books to the reader. Ebooks are not going away. Ebooks are the wave of the
future.
Sincerely Yours
