First I wondered . . . is the poll skweed b/c so many of your blog followers (like me) are at least somewhat techie, and have more igadgets than anyone needs? Then I realized it doesn’t matter. E-books are only going to grow in popularity; ditto for the devices to download & read them on. The convenience factor alone is wicked cool.And with the explosion of e-books, the opportunity for new authors to publish electronically has never been greater. You can’t go a day on the blogsphere without finding a post somewhere about the merits of self-publishing in the hot e-book market. I’m still going the traditional publishing route, but I’m curious: are e-books vetted like those through traditional publishing channels? I think the answer is — it varies. As does the stigma of self-publishing, electronic or otherwise. And regardless of how you publish your book, you’ve still got to get people to read it, or more to the point of your post, buy it. And I don’t know whether e-readers will pay to download self-published novels. Sorry for the digression. The query process exacts quite a toll… Fun post, Nathan. Oh, and my answer is maybe. I still love the feeling of curling up with a paper book.
