Ordinary Day

I agree with you about wanting all books to be available to everyone, but I think one of the things about e-books is that the relative inexpensiveness of e-publishing makes it possible to publish books that might not otherwise have seen print--might still never see print, but at least get publication.

Of course, there is an argument to be made for keeping the bar high, but a lot of the time that bar isn't about quality but about things such as name recognition or word count.

Personally, I like being able to hold a book in my hand, but between 10,000 and 70,000 words, there's a huge morass of UNPUBLISHABLE. Having written a 45,000-word novel that consistently gets 5-star reviews (so far, Anna's 4-star review is the only one lower than 5), I'm glad to have found an e-book publisher so that people will be able to read it.
