@slipdown Many writers are, but I think it's a matter of not strategizing effectively rather than a bad system.
@slipdown Don't give your work to any publisher for free. Do it yourself & direct readers to your blog or site. Build community (customers).
@slipdown If you are bringing the attention of thousands of people to your work, don't you think you might figure out how to make money?

Sunny and 40° in the sun. Drip, drip goes the snow off my terrace and car. I am so ready to get out again! Lots more shopping still to do!
12" of snow on Fri was pretty. Cocooning on Sat. was enjoyable. Still stuck in on Sun. is getting old. The sun will come out tomorrow. Yay!

Thank you #ibpa and @markcoker for an informative call.
@p2p_editor I'm all for increasing ease of distribution. I think many people will buy the hard copies of the ebooks they read.
@chriswebb Makes total sense!
#IBPA What's about the nook's "lending" policy where customers can "loan" a title for a specific time period. Is that a form of DRM?
@p2p_editor Publishers never tried to control how we loaned our print books-yet ebook loaning is more likely to prompt new sales.
#ibpa Thank you to all who responded to my question. Learning so much here today!
@ftoolan Thanks. I gathered that by Mark's explanation. I didn't realize the book left your nook while it was on loan! Interesting.
#ibpa Random House's recent claim to backlist e-rights is a hot topic: They are claiming rights for something that didn't exist at the time.
