I'm also producing a podcast discussing the sonnets, available on
industrial curiosity, itunes, spotify, stitcher, tunein and youtube!
For those who prefer reading to listening, the first 25 sonnets have been compiled into a book that is available now on Amazon and the Google Play store.

selling books? really?

or virtually?

i wonder how many people walk into bookstores, get all excited and promptly purchase the electronic version for their e-reader, either in the store or later when they get home. there's nothing like looking for a book in a real-life display, and here all the stores are providing the experience but not necessarily selling the hardcopies.

it suddenly struck me today how very short-sighted all these stores are. sure, they can make money on e-reader accessories, but all they need to do to hop on the electronic bandwagon is sign up with amazon affiliates (an account for each store, so that meaningful statistics can be used), generate qr codes, stick them on the books and *poof* immediately generate cash without costing the customer extra.

i can't think of an honest way to make money off selling the idea to individual stores, so i'm setting the idea free on the internet. you're welcome.
