If you have a guy in charge of marketing or distribution, could you have him get in touch with me privately? Not sure I can really do anything, but I can put him in touch with some people who might be able to, on the retail side. >> It's amazing to me that people expect CD-ROMs that are just text of popular books to sell. A book is a great way to read text–it works in dim light, there are no batteries to replace, and no consumer learning curve. Why anyone would want a text version of a book on disc is beyond me.<<< I agree, and wonder how in hell Sony hopes to ever sell their Data Discman. Reading a book on an 8 line screen? This is *not* progress. <g> I hope you hit the market with a bang. I'll be sure and tell you what I think of the PC-Mag 'first look', and I'm looking forward to buying, and liking, your products. -Bill
