Seriously, it's a lot of work, for very, very little money, with a clientele with extremely high expectations. I know that sounds self-serving (ooooh, keep all the competitors away!), but honestly, I don't think anyone knows what it's like until they've worked in it, in a retail sense. If you're doing work for Imprints, sure. It's fine. But in a one-on-one sales/supply environment...it's a very, very tough go.

Ah, but then there's all the eBook-formatter groupies I've heard about. You can't deny that that's a major compensation right there, now can you?
