I think that's much more realistic and more easily trackable and manageable in terms of digital rights. 26 of these, 10 of those, a few thousand of something else. It's all a matter of numbers to the computers. > And by the way, for what it's worth, these big publishers are not going to be able to compete with self-publishers who will not be putting any such shackles on their books. Sure they will, just as long as they can enforce the concept that they, alone, can decide what amounts to 'quality', what sells -- and doesn't -- by financially manipulating shelf-space and the market, the distribution system, and what others will read based on politically-biased NYT 'enhanced' ratings. The old publishing model and those who support it can go the way of the dinosaurs.
