Why Bother?
We recently read an article that said the average income for a published author is less than 10k a year. If you factor in that Ebooks are easily pirated and copyrighted material is easily duplicated, the average income drops significantly.

Do you read?
Do you read? Books are all the things you’re thinking of right now. Books are movies in your mind’s eye while you are reading.
