[sdiy] From Bernie of Electronotes

[Quincas Moreira]

Tom, maybe you didn't read my initial comment well, I did mention that an
ebook would be a good idea AFTER Bernie recoups his investment in paper.
Only he knows how much that is. As for the 41 usd, that's what HE has said
he's making per sale, not a suggestion by me.

As for college textbooks, that's a mafia all in its own, charging an arm
and a leg from students who either have moneyed parents or a student loan
because it is required reading and they HAVE to buy it. A digital book can
be sold thousands of times without generating any cost at all, and at a
lower cost will attract more buyers. But like Pete said, at this point I'm
repeating myself, and since Bernie has been absent from the conversation,
it has become mostly speculative, so I too, am done, for now.
