I feel bad, because I'd been one of those begging for likes, but how do people know what you're doing and how to get to you without putting it out there. I guess it's whether the sharing is sincere. As always food for thought, and you may be bumping along Will, but you have some pretty good antennae, so I always look forward to your posts.<br /><br />Agy Wilson ( I forgot my Google password and I'm too lazy to change it right now)...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558633592606222881.post-26183774312417940052012-09-04T10:34:51.644-06:002012-09-04T10:34:51.644-06:00Another great article!

What I mean by that is that in the past I would have had the task of doing all the hard work in the artistic department and then would have had to put out thousands of dollars to self publish the book. There would be no telling if I'd ever even get my investment back or sell a single book. Now I just have to put in a little extra work in Indesign and throw it on the web for sale. There's still no telling if it would sell but now the difference is I didn't have to spend my life savings to find out. Also now I think a lot of cool things that publishers were passing on are able to come to light and really shine. I love ebooks! evilrobothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10908695612243658107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558633592606222881.post-84916342050051790932012-09-04T09:03:14.641-06:002012-09-04T09:03:14.641-06:00Thank you for writing this post Will.

We are a special breed of people that believe enough in ourselves to stick our necks out and take a chance. I truly believe that digital is a force to be reckoned with and is not going to go away, but instead become even larger as more tablets, smart phones and new mini tablets are released with better functions. I also think the future more educational systems will move to digital because it is much less expensive to update textbooks digitally than to buy the hard copies.Jan Clifton Watfordhttp://www.jancwatford.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558633592606222881.post-46547855937101263292012-09-03T13:17:59.917-06:002012-09-03T13:17:59.917-06:00Great!
