Awesome... now if they can only push pre-orders out to the big ebook stores, they will have a differentiating product offering again.

How fast? Right now it can take a month+ to get a book through your premium catalog (assuming no problems) and show up on Apple or B&N. Seems like that may kill any plans for a 1-2 month preorder period? I am not ready to do a pre-order on my next book yet, but once it is ready I would love to try it. |
