Statement from Amazon.com Regarding Kindle 2's Experimental Text-to-Speech Feature
SEATTLE, Feb 27, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Kindle 2's experimental text-to-speech feature is legal: no copy is made, no derivative work is created, and no performance is being given. Furthermore, we ourselves are a major participant in the professionally narrated audiobooks business through our subsidiaries Audible and Brilliance. We believe text-to-speech will introduce new customers to the convenience of listening to books and thereby grow the professionally narrated audiobooks business. Nevertheless, we strongly believe many rightsholders will be more comfortable with the text-to-speech feature if they are in the driver's seat. Therefore, we are modifying our systems so that rightsholders can decide on a title by title basis whether they want text-to-speech enabled or disabled for any particular...

email marketing tips
email marketing tips by Sylvia Hubbard QUESTION: How do I build my mailing list? Attract visitors to my site? And keep them coming back? Basically I would say to build your mailing list start with actually networking on the Internet. If you are shy, become unshy about selling your book, but don't just go around shouting I gotta book, buy it, buy it, buy it. That would be considered rude and also sometimes it´s called spamming! Don't do it because you'd be getting flame and you would gain a bad rep. Join reader and writers groups, asked to be featured or post reviews you have received about your book. Ask readers to read an excerpt and comment on it and hold contests. That's always a good one. Make them fun and imaginative and get readers talking about your...

The future of children and mega-texting
This is a response to the article and comments from MSNBC article called "6,473 texts a month, but at what cost? " I couldn't help it but just let the American readers and scientists know that they're not the only country on the earth. Wait, maybe my message is to the American-centric minds of the MSNBC /Washingtonpost writer Donna St. George who created the article.Here goes:Let me tell you my experience from a country where all this started/happened 9 years ago.1. Your children, (and maids and drivers) will eventually have 2-3 phones. But that's the limit. Some will go back to 2, some will stay at 3 phones - a small percentage (the oldies?) will just have one.2. A very small percentage will STOP texting altogether and will demand that you call them or meet them to get their attention.3....

Article: Create Fast Info Products Which Sell
Ebooks sell well online, because people are hungry for information they can use right away. If you'd like to create ebooks and sell them but feel you don't have time, short ebooks are the answer. You can create and start selling them within three days. Here's how. 1. Offer a Solution When they buy an ebook, buyers want a solution to a problem they have right now. For example, someone who's switching from a Windows computer to a Mac, wants to know basic information, and they're willing to pay for it. They're nervous: the machine is sitting in front of them. 2. What's Your Expertise? When considering solutions you could offer, consider your own expertise. Everyone's an expert in something. Look at problems you've solved in the past.
