What Steve said. And Ralph, I don't disagree really. But you also have to remember that while the percentage of the growth rate is high, it's still at this point multiplying relatively small numbers. We want attention for ebooks, but we're still a pretty tiny piece of the action.

And yet, in the last year, the publishing industry has started to take interest. I think prices will come down, especially as they see that the Baen model really works.
