		<description><![CDATA[BooksForABuck, owned by Rob Preece, a much-valued member of the TeleRead community, has started using nonDRMed ePub by way of BookGlutton&#8216;s free online converter.

		<description><![CDATA[Moderator: See earlier item on e-book pricing. Unrelated: Rob&#8217;s test of BookGlutton&#8216;s ePub conversion. Try it yourself. &#8211; D.R. Sometimes you can&#8217;t win for losing. E-books get dinged for being &#8220;too expensive.&#8221; But offer great books at super-affordable prices instead&#8212;and you might get attacked for that. Pricing is one of the most controversial aspects of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Who says Rob Preece, a TeleBlog regular, is just a former FCC economist and publisher of BooksForABuck? He&#8217;s a novelist, too. And the cover and blurb for his new book show signs of a wicked and quirky imagination that just might appeal to some members of the TeleBlog community.

		<description><![CDATA[Moderator&#8217;s note: Will e-books really help the typical reader save money? Here are some Kindle-related thoughts from Rob Preece, owner of BooksForABuck.com&#8212;trained as an economist. &#8211; DR First, you&#8217;ve got to assume a useful life&#8212;and consider the discount rate. I&#8217;m going to assume your e-book reader lasts three years and ignore the discount rate, which [...]]]></description>

I haven&#8217;t always agreed with his comments on others&#8217; posts, but I&#8217;ve enjoyed them, and as a publisher and bookstore operator, he&#8217;ll offer his own special perspective. &#8211; David Rothman I discovered e-books as the ideal mix of my love for books [...]]]></description>
