Ready for the revolution to begin any day now…

I am so totally stoked for this publishing revolution I keep hearing about to begin. I haven’t seen any shooting yet, and there aren’t any black choppers circling overhead. But they should be, soon. I haven’t seen anything violent in this fight yet, actually. About the only thing I have seen that’s indicative of a war going on is that some self-published writers are dropping bombs.

Okay, seriously, I’m looking forward to the day when major publishers all embrace e-books, because then I can finally stop paying for shipping and handling on my orders. I admit that I have greedy, selfish reasons for wanting publishers to stop dragging their heels. If they would, I could buy their books and read them the same day, instead of getting it one to three months. I could afford to buy more books, because then I’m not paying shipping and handling.

I’m sure they’ll get around to it soon, since the number of electronic devices that offer e-reading apps continues to grow. Hey, maybe a few hundred thousand device owners still isn’t big enough to interest them, but it won’t be much longer before there are millions. It’s really only a matter of time before all publishers take the e-plunge. When they do, I’ll be ready; one hand on the mouse, and the other wrapped around my credit card.

And if they don’t, I’ll storm the gates of mainstream publishing with a Nabakov cock tale. Grrr.
