    Here's a little something I stumbled upon. I don't know if this is something that was brought up earlier, but this looks interesting.

    Yes! This is what is happening in Book World.
    I've been hearing same dismal stuff from agent and editor friends here in NYC for the past 6 months.

    We can wish, stragegize, WAG, ponder or the like: But the facts are the facts!!!

    Cool article -- thanks for sharing. E-books are sweet -- I love how easy they are to create. Anyone can do it! But apps are a different sort of beast. There's more interactivity. I mean, don't you need designers and programmers to build them? Kinda like video games. It's not like I can sit down and just crank one out, you know? Also, tablets are going to have to become way more cheap and durable before I'm willing to let a child put its boogery little paws on mine. ;)

    Hmm! Anyway, cool stuff. Excited to see where it all goes!
