Actually, I meant all the stuff around printing and distributing the paper books and getting them space in stores and so on. None of which is a concern with ebooks. Some of that is, I guess, marketing.
Thinking about it now, I can see where 90% of the book marketing might happen inside the bookstores. Since I bought my ereader 5 months ago, I think I've been into a bookstore maybe twice.
