Apparently you don't. It was invented as a quick method for amputation. It was a surgical device named after the doctor that invented it.

Another great post on the industry. You allowed Flatmancrooked to reprint previous posts. We'd like to reprint this one too. Let me know!

I've been enjoying greatly your posts on publishing and e-books and e-readers. (In fact, I was the one who first recommended your work to Flatmancrooked.)

I enjoyed this article as well, but please!

Why on earth would you want to read "Much Ado About Nothing?" It's a play, after all, not a novel or novella. You would have been better advised to search for an audio version.

Consider: would you rather listen to a movie or read the screenplay? Which would better prepare you for the screening?

Excellent post. You mention Scribd. It's worth noting that Kemble Scott, author of the bestselling novel "SOMA", published his second novel as an e-book for purchase on Scribd. The hardcover edition will be published by Numina in September. Another Scribd author, Ransom Stephens, has asserted that publishing is backwards (hardcover>paperback>e-book) and will be reversed. Scott's experience seems to bear him out.
