Distribution channels in chain booksellers is of limited value - most of them don't even sell regular books in an efficient manner, and have no expertise in selling anything electronic. Lucius, Strange reaction on my part perhaps, but I don't view this as a problem that can't or won't get fixed. If people can figure out how to load a Palm (I don't have one, but know some who do), this can't be that much of a leap. The $300 entry fee probably isn't going to attract your average joe or jane book reader, but we've all heard of "early adopters"...right? Same thing with little 5" TV's in the late 40's. My feeling is that the college text market could be a major one, and perhaps an early one, and to boot, it's fairly stable throughout the year, not just a Christmas thing. Another avenue I'd expect GMST to pursue would be a target company...a Fortune 100 firm perhaps, with a proposal for training manuals, personnel manuals, etc...all put into e-books that eliminate large print bills once and for all. Only thoughts. Chaz
