And that inescapable.

I’m going to comment on your blog, but for the record, I like your response!

Glad Kindle is selling books for you!
That seems to be the good news about Kindle.

great blog. I’m a writer/publisher and I use POD and ebooks to get my work out there. Over the last few months I’m selling more via Kindle than all others combined…don’t like giving Amazon 65% but they shift books.

Thanks for the comment! Sincere apologies if I took you up somewhat more advanced than you intended!

It is funny that you say:
My vision is, I guess, Skatzkin AND Savikas, in part because I understand “service” to be an attitude, that we serve the reader, we serve the reader-writer relationship.

I nearly included a line about how your personal page sounded like Shatzkin channelled through Savikas, but held back! Ah well! I look forward to reading more from you!

Eoin

It would be insanity to develop tools from scratch. But the combination of tools, how they’re used adapted and tweaked, that’s that I want to start on now. My vision is, I guess, Skatzkin AND Savikas, in part because I understand “service” to be an attitude, that we serve the reader, we serve the reader-writer relationship.

More comprehensive response to your wonderful analysis to come!
