Ebooks are awesome, right? Authors can make a living by selling their ebooks online. No question.
However, keep in mind that they're getting help. Their work is being sold in (essentially) the Wal-Mart of the online retail world, i.e., Amazon.
Of course, Barnes & Noble is selling ebooks, too. For now.
The question is, can they compete with Amazon over the long haul?
There are other ebook retailers, of course. However, we all know the real money is made with Amazon, because of their algorithms, widespread popularity, etc., etc.
And Amazon is going global, as I've reported here over and over.
Now ... authors can always sell their own books, right? By using companies like this one to set themselves up as retailers.
And ebooks are forever, right?
Well, sure ... but the Internet is a really, really big place.
And your Web site is like this compared to Amazon ...
It's tough for the small guy to compete even in the city ...
But that's life in the hood.
Get the picture? ;)
PS: Why can't we all get along?
