I think many authors, like me, are toying with the idea of e-book publishing but there is little information available to help with making this decision. I for one am sticking to the traditional printed style for my recently released fantasy novel, Randolph' Challenge, Book Pne-The Pendulum Swings.

For laughs, I'd say, check out EMF by Stephen King. BTW, the site blog has not been updated since August 04, 2007. I wonder if the Book Club is still active or if any one actually joined.

To make up for the profits lost on a $99.99 e-book reader like the Sony or Kindle, I would imagine that a lot of e-books would have to be sold. That would be interesting.
