That’s what O’Relly found
Back in 2000, O’Reilly and Associates published
“Using Samba”, a computer book I wrote much of.
At the same time that made it available electronically, in short easy-to-print sections.
I wondered if this was smart, but indeed, the
readers referred to the on-line version, but
bought the professionally printed version. It
was one of their besy-selling titles that year.
I’m glad to see this is true of novels, too.

get used to it. it gets worse and worse till they have no sales and no internet.
YOU will see the correlation as time goes on…..
