[...] truth is, I still don’t buy very many books on my Sony Reader. Like Jonathan Strahan, I think it’s mostly useful as a tool for reading slush. I upload all the submissions I get [...]

I hopped on over here to see if you were still looking for stories (I submitted last year in Feb) and found this post. Made me smile. I just published two books for the Amazon Kindle. Then I heard an earful from e-reader people–WHERE’S the epub version??? My, my, my testy little bunch! I did end up making it available in Sony format over at Smashwords, but still…the Kindle demand is probably at *least* five times higher for the actual book. It seems that a lot of people are using the iPod and iPhones to read.

That said, I too am eagerly awaiting the mysterious Tablet. Oh, I’m not likely to be a first generation user, but I am very excited by the functionality they are putting in these things. I was close to buying a kindle, but the tablet has me waiting…along with new competition, I think the Kindle 3 will be much improved.

Okay, I”m off to see if you are doing anthologies or other interesting projects…

Stop it with the common sense stuff. Publishers won’t like you. :)

Agreed. I’m also a big fan of publishers selling ebooks dirt cheap (under $3) to people when they buy the paper book. I’d love to have both of every book I buy.
