Thanks, Paul.

I liked his line about why physical books will never be replaced:

Stephen King said...
There's a permanence to books that underlines the importance of the ideas and the stories we find inside them; books solidify an otherwise fragile medium.
(the emphasis above is mine.)
 
That and DRM are why I intensely dislike paying anywhere near the cover price of a physical book for the e-version.

one of the main reasons that the indie companies have been able to compete is the unrealistic pricing of ebooks from the majors.

I have no skeletons in my closet, they are all hanging from the yardarm.

Once there were three brothers, Brandrahoon the vampire, Isranon called the Dawnhand, speaker to spirits, and Waejonan the Accursed, first of sa’necari. Isranon defied his brothers and was destroyed, his descendants forced into the darkness.
