But I still like to read most books in their paper incarnations. It's a tactile thing, I guess. Also, I can't help but worry about what the ebook revolution is going to do to midlist authors and new authors. How will people find out about their books?<br /><br />Piracy is a problem, and not a little one. Even though you know there was a problem with stripped cover mass markets being floated around in the past, it was nothing like the potential for theft in the digital age. I don't know how the publishers are going to handle that, but I hope they come up with some way to police things before too many authors have to give up writing because they can't make money.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18142327117372253106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13532619.post-10202476101070118792011-06-01T10:04:34.514-07:002011-06-01T10:04:34.514-07:00Yes to ALL of the above.

It's actually pretty interesting.<br /><br />I have a friend whose latest book was put out as an ebook by her agency. She's doing really well with it, and I'm starting to believe in this ebook thing. At the same time, the "self published" thing isn't going away. I'm starting to wonder where we're going to draw a line, marketingwise, for these "professionaly" done ebooks.E.
