I just saw another post on the front page about the smashwords agreement with scribd.

I know a lot of people do read on other than e-readers, but by excluding e-readers...I don't think it will fly. As a writer, I get a free one year membership, but I'd have to read on my computer/app. Guess why I bought a reader? I DON'T WANT TO READ ON MY COMPUTER.

I don't have a phone or tablet. I guess most people do so perhaps for the average reader it will work out. However, my guess is that early adopters have to be avid readers. Well, I guess avid readers with a tablet.

Sigh. Well, I wasn't the target market then.
