I don't often get all "state of the publishing industry" ranty on this blog, but I've been fuming over this issue for awhile... so here it goes.  I'll keep it short-ish.  I always promise this and then two pages of single-spaced ranty-ness later, I'm thinking "oops, yeah."   Ebooks.  Here's the deal.  They don't cost a lot to produce.  Yes, there is obviously the work of creation, the blood, sweet, tears, and sacrifices that go...
