  • Amazon now controls over 50% of all books sales and 85%+ of ebook sales.
  • The resurgence of print is "wishful thinking rather than an understanding of what’s actually happening".

Yum! Tizra Eats Its Dogfood

By
We keep talking about how Agile PDF makes it easy for nontechnical users to do sophisticated online publishing.
