What if everyone who is planning on self-pubbing contacts a local, small publisher and offers to work a deal to help get them into the ebook business? Bigger if... what if the small pub said yes?

I also think some other "financial wizardry" is going on (e.g., corporations not wanting to lose their current level of profit margins...). I also wonder, since when do we have TOO MANY choices? Can we even HAVE too many? Do we NEED (there I go again...) so many, and who am *I* to limit said choices...? Agree, Ron–think we ARE asking the wrong questions.

But nowadays, I'm also enjoying a choice of a dozen books while I'm waiting in a doctor's office, dentist's office, or for my car to be serviced. @Kari - it is in fact the story that stays with us for months, years, even decades, isn't it? Thanks for dropping by... @Lisa – I, too, have memories of curling up with a good book, often under the covers with a flashlight well past my bed time.

Are there any statistics on the ratio of e-book purchases to hard copies? I prefer the tangible as the feel of every new one brings back the warm but long-ago memory of holding my first story book that I knew I could read on my own.

Sometimes Ron, it really does feel like we have lost sight of that. :) Thank you for the reminder! “Or have we forgotten that the main reason for books in the first place was to tell a story?”
