The AP story on ePublishing that I’ve mentioned here has been released:
Slow-Starting E-Books Find Niche Markets
Quite a few misquotes (mostly of the variety of combining things I said separately, out of context, into single statements — often completely wrong). Irritating.
Ah well — it’s a wire story, with a photo, and (more importantly) a correct link to my business website. Can’t complain, really.
Cool, very cool! And you look all professional-like! :)
Congratulations!
Boy, can I empathize with the being misquoted! But congrats and I hope it help on the way to making you as fulfilled (as, just BTW, as rich) as you deserve to be.
Congratulations! Don’t let it bother you too much about being misquoted; sure it’s INTENSELY frustrating, but in a month (or even less) nobody will care or remember but you. And hopefully the exposure will be worth its weight in gold.
B.
Wow, I haven’t seen you since before you cut your hair. Looks good.
Awwww, look at you checking LJ. ;)
THAT was the funny!
“This porn site requires age verification and a major credit card….”
Congratulations! The Dutch will be all over this; they can’t get enough of The Skarka!
Nice product placement!
The irony is there are print books on the tabletop…
Still, that’s some pretty good coverage, and most AP reports get picked up quite extensively.
Well, we know you’re not checking (insert any one of a number of RPG fora here)… you’re not either weeping or laughing out loud…
Well, as a home educating RPG’er, I guess I need an e-book reader now, as it looks like “Le e-book market, c’est moi”.
Seriously, I didn’t know Stewart had anything to do with homeschool e-store: this has resulted in an uptick in coolness for both in my completely arbitrary world.
ok now that’s a shock: short hair.
Holy Hell.
but I like how studious you look ;D
You may not be perfectly satisfied but all in all I think this is a good representation for our industry. I notice that the writer managed to pick probably the most sensational titles in your entire catalog to use in the article! It’s also good of you to provide such an excellent example of all the RPG industry personnel who work at home; no doubt you and your office always look that way when you work, right? ;)
Just wanted to let you know that I opened up the Wii News channel last night and found this story (and your pic) available to read there.
That’s just freaky. I’ve been stunned at just how wide this thing has gone — I mean, I know it was AP going in, but somehow it didn’t really hit for me until this morning. NY Times Business section, BusinessWeek, CNN Money, The Washington Post, etc. etc.
I’m kinda flabbergasted.
Damnation!! Yer nows teh shit!!
Let’s hope it leads to greater recognition, more sales and validation of the business concept.
Congrats Gareth! You’re more famous (if that’s possible) than you already had been. ;)
Very cool!
For what it’s worth, while being misquoted is naturally frustrating, you came across well anyhow.
Gareth, I’ll be mentioning this on the next Digital Front (out as soon as my laptop decides to connect to the wireless network, or later this week). Would you like to correct the misquotes? If so, email me and let me know what they were.
Overall, very cool and awesome, both for you and for our corner of the industry.
