it's a way to sell stories normally reserved to being serialized or just published as shorts in an anthology or a rag like the SF mags such as Asimov's SF or, heck I am having a "brain cloud" but you get the idea. It's a way to not just exploit the dwindling 5-minutes between commercials attention span but also to monetize the stacks of these stories on slush piles everywhere so I like the idea as long as the price is reasonable but I ain't paying about $0.99 for them.
bugs me when the $/hour of reading starts to break the $0.25/hr price point. I hate to break it out like that but if it helps I have estimated that the large grocery store chains have set about a $5/lb price for people on a typical meal. So it's just me being a bit suspicious about motives everywhere anymore. Must be early onset CRS (as in can't remember *sheet*).
