I agree with HarryT that we should celebrate the fact that blogs/forums discussing our industry are now worth money. Just a couple of years ago, I spent half my time arguing with people who thought nobody would ever want to read a book from a screen.
Whether TeleRead can survive this 'success' is something we'll have to see. It's true that acquisitions change the acquired but there have been examples where synergy worked. I will be interested in seeing how NAPCO tries to monitize their investment. I don't believe that the advertising it generates will pay many salaries.
