Michael over at The Digitalist talks about the danger of hype for e-books. (Read the Comments)

Smashwords is coming. I’ve seen this a bit and talked with the developers. Nice little program.

I’ve used my beta invite, but it’s premature to comment on whether this site will make a difference in my readership. Since I’m neither seeking a conventional publishing contract nor free editorial advice, I may not be be a typical member of the site, however.
Lee,
I wonder what the typical user is? I suspect they are rare!
Certainly in this Beta stage!

Eoin, of course I can only extrapolate from other such sites and forums, but most everyone who posts their novels online have one goal – the cachet of conventional publication. Not everyone, of course, and certainly not true of those exploring less conventional forms of online narrative, but true enough
in general. The genuine indie writers are rare, in my experience, though I certainly hope this is changing.
