nice.
that's not the first time i've heard epublishing described as "the wild west" ; in fact there was a short article on the radio here recently and a french author used precisely that expression (he also said that it wasn't a question of being "for" or "against" ebooks, because they're "simply inevitable". or did he call them "necessary" ? can't remember, and he said rather poetically "you can't stop a river with your hands" (hercules notwithstanding). it was Bernard Werber, a science fiction writer, in case you've heard of him).
