Humor/Satire / Six Words on The State of Publishing

Ain’t that right?  Plus people become less and less inclined to even bother reading anything at all that doesn’t involve a celeberity getting pregnant, drunk, or arrested.

Guess we’ll see how that goes.

excellent, lol what else is there to say I have never heard a better joke or a scarier truth, as a person who likes his books e-books is an insult.

That was funny.  I didn’t lol, but I did laugh to myself (ltm?).  I don’t think the creation and distribution of ebooks will prevent them from publishing new, good stuff.  Even the old stuff is still sold in normal paper book format.  Barnes and Noble haven’t closed their doors yet.  Anyway, based on the title I assume you  mean a smaller scale apocalypse, like, a writing/publishing industry apocalypse, as opposed to THE apocalypse.  If that’s true, I really like this.  If it’s not true, I don’t think it has a lot to do with the title, and you should change either the title, or the 5 words after ebooks.

Of course it’s true about being about the writing/publishing industry apocalypse, silly.  The true sign of the apocalypse is what’s been happening the last 8 years in the White House.

And thanks!

I’m not sure this rings true. The usual analogy is with the four horsemen, but I’m not sure that would be appropriate.
What’s more are eBooks actually a bad thing? In the same way that you Tube, and Itunes have given talent that might easily have been pushed to one side the opportunity they wanted, perhaps eBooks and publish on demand machines will do the same those authors for whom self publishing is the only route.

If you say so but I think I’ll leave it as is.

In any event, thanks!

Satire at its best!

Does that earn me my 15 credits?
Just in case:
All the words are spelled correctly!

HA!
Too funny!

Creative humor is one my favorite things to read.

Awww shucks. It was nothing, really.

Wonderful. If pages cannot be turned, the word “book” becomes obsolete – and words in general are devalued. An excellent observation!
