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.
