A Grand Experiment

I've been thinking a lot about Kindle's new self-publishing program they have set up (okay, not "new" to the world but "new" to me) and how it might help authors. It's a sweet little racket Amazon is pulling , cutting out the publisher for new and established authors to sell their book for as little or as high as the author wants and paying out a nice commission rate. The downside, however, is for those writers who want to see their first book in print.

E-books are nice for anyone who wants...
