It is breathtaking how fast the game changes recently.
I am big optimist, and I have been quite keen on e-books long before they became widespread. Yet, I was very surprised when I learned recently that e-books overtook paper book sales on Amazon. I was expecting it would take much longer.
Now the Apple came, and I expect we will see some dramatic shift before June the 30th. There is no way Amazon and other sellers will give Apple 30% "Money For Nothing" racketeering fee. It is bad enough that non-USA customers have to pay $2 "wireless delivery fee" to Amazon. Even if they have iPad with Kindle App.
I follow the Indie Book scene casually (thanks to your Indie site among others) and I see some interesting trends emerging ...
