		<description>[...] I have tried this feature and it does look and feel good. I like the slickness of their site in general. The idea of being able to share books and pages would do a lot to tackle Jeff Jarvis&#8217; frustrations as evidence here. [...]</description>

		<description>The internet also has the advantage of allowing for new writers to try innovative approachs to being published such as:

 Sand Storm - Slaying the Dragon - An open letter to Publishers 
Attention Publishers

Here is your chance to publish a Thriller for FREE!
Pay No Royalties, No advance!
Sand Storm will be 100% yours.
Publish 1,000 copies, 5,000 or 100,000 it&#039;s up to you.
You publish it, market it and keep all the money!
The catch.
One Caveat.
To acquire the rights you must donate $5.00 from every book sold to the International Red Cross or $5.00 for every book sold to improve the Libraries for the Armed Forces. That&#039;s right improve the reading supplies for the men and women who wear the uniform. Foreign Rights will have the same agreement to benefit the Military Libraries of Canada, U.K., Australia etc.

That&#039;s it one completed Thriller, it&#039;s yours if you want it.

You can read sample chapters 1-10 as noted on the side bar or request entire manuscript as mentioned below in the previous post.

If any fellow bloggers wish to talk this up please do!

UPDATE!
It appears from the comments and e-mails I&#039;ve received that $5.00 is too steep a price for publishers to consider. I set it as a starting place with the idea that it would probably result in a negotiated rate. That said I will restructure the donation to just $1.00 per book, so that the publisher can make some kind of return for their efforts.</description>

		<description>If the printed book is replaced by an electronic version of information on the Internet, there is a strong, I repeat, strong, expectation that information will be altered at will by those in power. A book, once printed, is a permanent record. I am quite concerned about the possibility of the book disappearing from our culture to be replaced by an impermanent and easily alterable substitute.</description>
