That is the same principle. If there wasn't a profit to be made then the adverts wouldn't be there. When we sign up for these deals, we are fooling ourselves, but if it makes us happy and doesn't break the bank, then there is as little harm as cutting that CD.<br />Self-publishing is when you do the whole process for yourself, by yourself.Steve Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04532608218034203359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919894200039153342.post-43622212836983628472010-10-17T13:49:13.733-07:002010-10-17T13:49:13.733-07:00Good job in getting this out there.

If you can't understand it, turn it down. This one smells like rotten fish. Oddly that Borders was the last ones to try and get into the eBook business. Sounds more like they want to rip a bunch of people off, make a proffit and walk away.
