Your average customer is paying to have ebooks produced. The average person doesn't do that.

So I dunno why so many of your customers have einks, but I assume it has something to do with their aspirations as writers.
I'm sure that my customers will be touched to think that you believe that they are not, in fact, average, but above-average. :-)

I tend to think that folks who don't really understand email, that don't understand how to download from a browser, or file formats, or why file extensions matter, or any of that stuff, really are pretty average, from a tech standpoint. No? I'm almost afraid to ask what you think the typical tech knowledge is, then, from an "average" person?
