Well, a lot of it is. Some companies have allready made up their minds, and I don't think Baen and O'Rilley are precisely doing badly. Sure, it's still a relatively small market, but it's growing - and the small publishers are getting into the act as well, E-Reads and Nightshade Books in particular are taking Webscriptions into areas of scifi and fantasy Baen themselves don't really do.

As a note, I also don't currently buy any new Holtzbrinck-label books after their panic reaction to Tor's Webscription experiment.


DMcCunney - QuarkXpress? Pfft. From working on one particular project, I had to aquire proficiency in Adobe Framemaker. (Yea, erk!)
