And a cute way of re-distributing works by famous artists away from the rigged art market back to the public.

I’m just getting into the ePib market (sorting ISBNs out now) and I will not be charging the same for an e book as a print version like big publishers do. They really think the public are stupid.

I fear this new Kindle craze will only flatter to deceive. For every talented writer such as yourself there’ll surely be a thousand housewives with that “novel they’ve always had in them”, chomping at the digital bit. ( no disrespect to housewives!).
In the end isn’t it likely to become something of a swamped format, where the punter has to laboriously wade through a hundred titles of terminal tedium before finding anything remotely gripping… a bit like paying a quid to read yer average yawnsville diary blogger, which we can all do to our hearts content – if that’s one’s pleasure – for bugger all, already.
But perhaps you have another take on it Ian? How are Kindlers going to find the occasional needle of good writing within the forthcoming haystack of badly-written dross?
