You're going to lose them unless you get your ass into gear.


AnemicOak - The only difference is that Baen had one man who could say "do it", and it was done. Its not coincidence that it's small publishers joining Baen on Webscriptions now either, is it? Traditional book publishers are slowly-reacting monoliths. And honestly, I'm very tempted to say "let them burn themselves".
Interesting eh. Maybe analogous to Microsoft and the Internet. They took forever to catch on and turn the ship, but they are still in the game and a force to be reckoned with....
