The publishing industry is crazy. Figure it out here.

Great points. Though, to be fair, ink is more expensive than gas on the whole.
One of the major points towards the digitization of reading that I really only skimmed is the environmental costs of real books. You see a book and you see paper, and you see an ebook and you see the lack of paper. So, for one, we're saving tress. But we're also no longer supporting the often less-than-credible industries that bring us ink. That's an animal-saving issue, right there. On top of that, digital books bring digital distribution, cutting down on trucks driving back and forth across countries, saving on tons of gas and helping the environment.
Something I maybe should have pointed out is that ebook readers are an environmental necessity. The current model is about as sustainable as foreign oil.

Um, I didn't give too many people presents this year.
But I'll give you guys one.
You don't have to like it though. It's like when I gave my grandma
cashews. She's allergic.
So here's my favorite chapter to write in a very short book
I call "Emma."…
Thanks for the comment, I like tackling heavy subjects. But this one is from personal experience.
Matthew is her crush, I could say. Or her savior. I think I'll put up more. It's not meant to be really long. Just ten short chapters is enough to tell…
This is a pretty heavy topic. The last paragraph definitely has a lot of shocking reveals. What role did Matthew play? There's room for expanding should you choose to revisit this work again.
Congrats on finishing this project.
