Since you folks have been so helpful in prior discussions…
I’m considering changing the donation process on the site. Let me state for the record that I have no intention of making a mandated donation amount. Donations will remain flexible, and you should be able to donate any amount of money you feel like.
Having said that…

I’m happy to announce the addition of our 20th title, Seeds of the Machina by Thomas Moore. Your comments are welcome!
It’s also worth noting that Thomas is passing all of his portion of donatons for this book along to he Family Literacy Foundation, so be generous!
Even the smallest children knew about the story of The […]

A question to those of you reading this blog, either on site or via the RSS feed.
When should the “Explicit” iTunes tag be used on a book? Obviously, Scott Sigler’s Earthcore is explicit. No question about it. And Mark Jeffrey’s The Pocket and the Pendant is not. These books fall well out side of the […]

For those unfamiliar, the promise of DRM for publishers is prohibiting illegal use of their digital files. CDs, ebooks, audio books… DRM is everywhere. It may seem logical on the surface, but […]

A recent comment made it’s way to me, from a fan who we’ll call “Mike” to protect his identity:
I think that potty-o books (my little joke there) are
a great idea. I’ve been listening to ripped audio
books before when I had a boring job and didn’t have
to concentrate on it. Took the edge off the boredom.

Not only did Mario decide to toss us some coinage, but he took the time to tell me why:
I donated to support future endeavors.
Thanks for providing these [podiobooks], and for taking the time
to communicate with your customers/audience. I will
indeed spread the word about your site.
Great to hear, Mario!
