Amazon’s Kindle Digital Text Platform allows anybody to put a “book” up for download and set their own price. Author gets 35% of any sales and retains the rights to the work. I can envision some unknown authors developing a real following without ever printing a traditional book.

You don’t know the business. I’m betting 35% of the net. Then, of course, you’ve niched yourself into only a group of readers who can afford $399.

7 books later, I’ve seen it all.
