Obviously not. It _used_ to be for "the ebook community," which seemed to include people like me who buy and read books, but now it appears to be so focussed on people who produce and sell them that I usually restrain myself from commenting.

I would suggest writing good books that people think are worth paying for, selling them at a fair price, and not using DRM. But what would I know? I'm not a marketer, only the market. 

I really liked Barbara Kingsolver's _The Lacuna_, Mike Brown's _How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming_. My most recent eBook purchase, for the Kindle application on my iPod Touch, was _The Handbook of Fixed Income Securities,_ by Frank J. Fabozzi & al.

What good books have others been reading lately?
