I wonder what News corp thinks now that they've bought themselves a rrvived lawsuit headed go trial.
Of course, the sale needs Canadian govt approval so its not 100% certain it'll be approved.
Anyway, there's other mid-range trad pubs that are or will be in play soon enough. Kensington and S&S, for starters.

What was interesting to me was the somewhat low price and the part that said Harlequin struggled to make the switch/money from digital. Since their guidelines are so dependent on formulas, you'd think they would be able to easily come up with a publishing formula that would work to get the books out and into the hands of readers. Also found it interesting that naria.com was selling direct to consumers. I suspect we will see more of that type of thing as publishers decide they have to profit and don't want to deal with a middle man.
