Mr. held: I agree with you. It's an exciting concept - one I've been thinking about for several years. Who needs publishers anymore? The net is the publisher. Need an editor - hire one. If you want to advertise your own book, go ahead, but no need to give 75% of proceeds away. And who needs mega-printers with their delays, surplus inventory? Who needs warehouses and distribution. Surely it's possible to print a book (or re-design a book) locally via wire. Print your selection at any Kinko's. Pick it up today!! Getting a book at the bookstore (or from AMZN) is like getting bottled propane gas. Piped in is so much more efficient. Books are only alpha-numeric data. Now that we are not short FATB, I think I just might buy some. peter P.S. I am still waiting for airlines and hotels to have customers simply bid for tickets and rooms. Why have all t his complicated yield management software when the market will do it for you more efficiently?
