OK, I know we aren't supposed to use Paddlewise for commercial promotion so 
I hope this does not cross the line. I won't feel bad if the list guardian 
bounces it back to me.

I want to publish the latest edition of my book but printing costs a lot and 
I have to buy tons of copies to keep in stock. Postage adds to the cost and 
any up-dates ( I would like to add new information as it becomes available) 
mean a person has to buy a new edition or a separate update. So I am 
thinking I should sell the book in PDF format on a CD-ROM. This would reduce 
costs, allow up-dates and additions. Up-dates for example could be sent via 
e-mail.

How would people respond to that? If you have an opinion and don't won't to 
clutter up the list I would be pleased to hear from you off channel.

Cheers

John Winters
