That does make me wonder if there will be much of an e-book market for Palin come January.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-18138845201090460192009-10-05T17:40:40.935-05:002009-10-05T17:40:40.935-05:00It's really a shame that the publishers are go...It's really a shame that the publishers are going this route. Especially with these books I think that it will result in lost sales.<br /><br />The only reason the general public buy these type of books is "to get to the juicy" tidbits. So by the time the eBooks roll out, all of the media will have revealed any eyebrow-raising info. So no one will buy the digital versions.<br /><br travhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08610121052214617032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-5621638032456940142009-10-05T14:50:30.471-05:002009-10-05T14:50:30.471-05:00Thomas, I hear you on both counts.

I still much prefer to be holding paper rather than plastic when I'm reading a book.<br /><br />Political bios are pretty much garbage and seldom even written by the person whose name is on the cover...worthless propaganda in every sense of the word, including Palin's and Kennedy's.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-75109256350349374702009-10-02T07:14:19.660-05:002009-10-02T07:14:19.660-05:00For me a book needs to have pages and paper and sm...For me a book needs to have pages and paper and smell like a book. I am 40-year old fuddy duddy who wants my fiction the old fashioned way.<br /><br />And as for political bios all of those "books" that politicians write when they are thinking of running for higher office...they depress me a bit and I don't even read them.Thomas Hogglestockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284352537015457974noreply@blogger.com
