On Amazon's constancy and reliability

[Andre Jute]

The photograph has a name, "ipadwaitingtomoveupmarket", which summarizes my faith in Amazon's constancy and reliability: zero expectation of either. I'm ready to move on at a moment's notice. If you're smart, you will be too.

Reading a book on the iPad was misery for my old eyes. E-ink provides a far superior experience.

This isn't about reading, Sierra, but about reaching readers. What will you do if tomorrow Amazon closes KDP?

[Patricia]

Embrace Smashwords.

(What's that gizmo by my name in your post?)

[Andre Jute]

I can't see the gizmo. What's it look like?

[Patricia]

An upright white rectangle with OO in the top half and 1 (or I) 0 in the bottom half.

[Patricia]

Can you see that? I just copy/pasted it.

[Andre Jute]

I see an entirely blank line where you pasted it.

[Katie]

It's a rectangle with numbers in (binary code?). I can see it!

[Patricia]

I, too, thought it might be binary code.

[Andre Jute]

Probably a Goodreads administrator saying, "Shame on you! Why don't you dust your CD player?"

[Patricia]

I knew you'd be able to explain it.
