The moral of that story was that, in general, people will not choose digital copies of text over physical copies of text. You can give them away for free, and they STILL will choose a paper copy 99 times out of 100. Many companies were hurt from the E-book / PDF fiasco of the 90s thinking that it was "the future" of print.As I stated in my last response, the cost at which most people would purchase PDFs do not cover the costs of making the product from all levels unless it's someone in their garage with donated assistance. If you can keep your costs WAY down, then it's almost feasible, but I don't know anyone who is interested in maintaining that level of production/living. Those who do that are trying to break into the market or get their foot in the door with a particular company. The end goal is, and should always be, to make enough money to at least live comfortably and keep doing what they want to do for a job; not live on ramen perpetually just so some nerds can buy the fruits of their labor at a profit of just pennies on the dollar.</blockquote>
