I've been working with RPGs since 1992. And I've been dealing with epublishing since 1995. With access to all the proper equipment, I have the skills and experience to take a project from an idea to a final physical product product in the marketplace, without even a single other person needing to provide any assistance with any aspect of the process. So tell me, exactly how qualified does this nebulous "working in the gaming business since 1988" make you?That's a rather improper comparison. The cuts for overhead, fulfillment, shipping, and distribution are necessities of being a manufacturer. An overpriced book pushed on people who may not need it isn't, regardless whether or not the dollar amount is negligible.Unrealistic? What was that you were saying about being insulting? I certainly don't want to pay $20 for a book that's filled with "advice" which is probably nothing more than the usual regurgitation of things I learned years ago. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if some of that advice was stuff I know some of those contributors heard me say in the past."Being in the business" does not equate with "being in business". Writing isn't the same as being a manufacturer. Incidentally, out of all those people you've mentioned, Greg Porter is the only one who has been e-publishing as long as I have. The rest are newcomers to the epublishing business, most of which haven't been dealing with electronic products more than a couple years. Let's not forget the way your very own boss likes to go on about how different the print and epublishing markets are. From my own 19 years experience in print media and 9 years experience in epublishing, I know most business sense of print media doesn't work well in epublishing.Ah, once again, you can't follow your own advice. You did say something about not being insulting. Now, exactly who demonstrated I was wrong?</blockquote>
