Now I see why you went the e-Book way. Geeks already have their faces
screen-burned so what's the diff. The e-book business has pretty much
tanked. People want to have something to hold in their hands that is
not screen related. Still these books of yours are part of the reason
that some would consider using Revolution in the first place. Keep up
the great work, and thanks.
