Will this be the way that Apple delivers ebooks with it's upcoming tablet computer? The most interesting thing about this possibility is that it can potentially create a direct connection between an ebook author and the huge marketing machine behind iTunes (with over 100 million credit card accounts), without the overhead of a publisher or other intermediary. "Indie" musicians are certainly taking advantage of this potential in iTunes, and there's no reason why it couldn't be used by authors.

IOW, if it ain't a graphic novel, it ain't worth marketing??? Hate to say it, but the LAST thing we need is Yet Another Stupid E-Book Format.
