This Yahoo News article (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070523/wr_nm/usa_books_technology_dc_2) talks about a service that will mail you small segments of classics every day, or more frequently if you desire. This is targeted at the short-attention-span folks, but there are some comments therein pertaining to the sale of newer material at "under $5 per title".

They say "The Association of American Publishers (AAP) said on Tuesday sales of e-books jumped 24.1 percent to $54 million in 2006, but that is still only a tiny fraction of the total U.S. book sales of $24.2 billion last year."

good to hear about the jump in ebook sales but why buy what you can get for free right here

oh, right, these are people with more money than brains, so sorry

Now, be nice, UncleDuke -- I prefer to think of such folks as having more dollars than sense. :grin2:
