[QUOTE=asjogren;779624]I think there is one more process needed for these - an independent "professional" review team. Perhaps the top 3% of sales gets reviewed. And the reviewer puts his real name to the review. And if these reviews can get out to the mainstream media, it could accelerate the transition to a different model.QUOTE]
I think that's a great idea asjogren, but more importantly you do, after all, our site exists for the benefit of people such as yourself and others on MR and around the globe.
There is absolutely no other place on earth where such as a wealth of information, trends, attitudes and opinions on everything eReading can be found than right here on MR. So who better to determine the direction of what is YOUR industry.
I would welcome any MR members who would like to participate or provide input on doing as you suggest.
We would be more than happy to host such a service on our site, though I think it would have much more credibilty and acceptance if it were an entity truly independant of any publisher or eBook seller.
Perhaps a new forum here where eBooks are reviewed along with links to where they can be purchased/downloaded and for how much.
Whether it is hosted on MR, ZuluExpress or a new site entirely I would be more than happy to contribute to the cause.
