Neil and Sawyer talk indie marketing, Everpub's strategy of selling books, the challenges of being a new author, and why being popular on social media is the ticket to a book deal.
Gizmodo completely agrees with what I said just a few hours ago: There Are Officially Too Damn Many Ebook Readers:
There will soon be two kinds of happy ebook-reader owners. The people who paid a fair amount for a reputable ebook reader from one of the companies they already buy books from, and the people who spend like $50 on a no-name ebook reader that supports a lot of formats, who gets every book they can think of as a pirated copy over BitTorrent. Everyone else—both the buyers of tier-two ebook readers and the makers of them—are going to be screwed.
Maybe this glut of ebook readers isn't offensive to you—most of you don't have to step over them on your way to cover 3D TVs that are also everywhere at this show—but there's no reason for them, and the more we try to keep track of, the more annoyed we get. Your choices: Go Kindle, wait for a cheap-as-hell reader, pray for a slate, or buy a book. A real paper-and-ink book.
