Since the PDF market has so many 'bit players' you'd think that someone would start 'anthologizing' the stuff and collecting pdfs (probably at a loss comparatively, but hey you'd be getting a cut and getting seen) into bundles. You'd still want to keep the things priced relative to other pdf products, but there you'd have an entry product that people could use as a sort of editorial (yes, you'd want a "Psion says:" sort of review before each product. It's worked for decades in the science fiction paperback market, and the market crossover has GOT to be high so you wouldn't have to do much. I think the main barrier would be convincing people to buy into the anthology 'theme', taking the hit in margins as marketing, and maybe coercing a bit of 'it's all the same" feel onto what are probably much different products.  And if THOSE things sold well enough then maybe you might work on getting the individual hobby publishers together for a product, even perhaps a print product. It just seems like it would work. IS there such an animal out there and I've missed it?</p></blockquote><p></p>
