Aaarghh!!! That's obscene. And that's why sites like ours,
www.zuluexpress.com have come to be. Publishers are no longer a neccessary part of the equation.
eBooks are proving themselves to be the saviour of the art not the death that the big pub houses have been predicting. Reading is up among young people because they can read books on their iPhone and iPod (or a pretty pink Cool-er reader) which makes it a cool thing to do.
Who cares if they're thinking is superficial, if it gets them reading then that's what matters.
I'm sure everyone is aware of eBook Week (
www.ebookweek.com), a great initiative to raise global awareness of eBooks. We are thinking of having a cash giveaway where anyone who uploads an original eBook of their own work between now and the end of eBook Week goes in the draw to win.
I hope that doesn't sound tacky, but we believe we have a really good formula and the most user friendly eBook library out there but we need authors.
So, for those of you that are still here
how much would it take do you think, to ignite a bit of a flash fire and get us some indie authors for our site?
Come on, don't be shy (try not to be too silly though), what do you say? $100, $500 maybe?? $1000???
