It's 12:35 in the am and the temp is minus 9 degrees F, windchill minus 20. Even though I have on long underwear under my pjs, and a blanket on my lap, I am still needing to wear my purple fingerless gloves to type. I was just about to quit computer when I had to come and look at your faces. This topic caught my eye. I heard that Apple is producing a reader for the iPod. I never heard of the Print on Demand at the book store, but that makes sense. Already, authors get pennies per book sold. If there is a bookstore or on-line sale it's even less money for the author. (The coyotes in the habitat near my back yard are yelping and howling, I wonder if they are cold?) I am making decisions as to changing production of my book. It is available on Kindle. If I move the paperback version from Authorhouse to Amazon's Create-Space, then there is more money for me per book because the sale is direct from Amazon. We have talked before about editing. It is my pet peeve. I have seen text books with multiple errors. I get an email a day, "I want to write a memoir, can you help me?" for 4 years I've been giving away information. Lately I started to ask what their needs are, and I say, well I charge a 75 dollar consultation fee, and for that you get blah blah blah, and I never hear from them again. I love editing, arranging and re-arranging paragraphs, and working with writers. Maybe Chatty needs an assistant? Like others here, I love my books. I'm selling everything to downsize, but I will not sell my books. Mostly non-fiction for research and to refer to for writing articles, etc. Miss you all, Lynn
