A Kindle in every pot

An interesting short article in
AmericaBlog:


"You see, in Greece, the government pays for 99% of students' books. So, Papandreou argues, why not give the kids every book in existence for a hundred bucks (or $360 in the case of the Kindle)."

Think if they did that in the States. Or worldwide. How many school-aged kids are there anyway?

I can see the methods for calculating advances and royalties might be revisited...

Wednesday night

Dogs sleeping. King is snoring softly. I should be in bed, but the Blackhawks are playing the Ducks, and they're winning. Midway through the third period. Hate to leave until I know.

Spoke with arcaedia about revisions. Much back and forth. arcaedia Pointed Things Out. Why didn't I see these things? Very cool things. Sometimes I feel like a dunce at this.

I can see the way forward, pretty much. February will be busy.

My agent is the bomb.

Update: HAWKS WIN!!!!!!
