Printed Books vs E-Books

This poster from Newsweek summarizes the printed book versus the e-book debate.

This poster from Newsweek summarizes the printed book versus the e-book debate. There are some really interesting stats in the graphic like:

1. Book authors, on an average, get $3.90 per sale of every printed book while the author royalty amount is $2.12 in the case of e-book downloads.

2. Average production cost for a $26 printed hardcover is $4.05 while the average cost for $9.99 e-book is around 50¢.

3. When people buy an e-reader like the Kindle or the Nooks, only 15% of them will actually stop purchasing printed books.

Chart looks nice, but don’t agree with some of this.

Where it shows the weight of a book and an e-reader, that’s not like how it is for all e-readers and books. Both come in a variety of sizes with many books being lighter than the lightest e-reader.

Also, it’s not like there isn’t free books, when they compare the Jane Austen stuff.

I have made a slight code change to your plugin, so that the video description matches the meta description of the page if you are using All In One SEO:

$excerpt = get_post_meta( $post->id, “_aioseop_description”, true ); if ( empty( $excerpt ) ) $excerpt = ($post->post_excerpt != “”) ? $post->post_excerpt : $post->post_title ;

Hi,
A similar thing happened to me on Jan 31, 2012.
The hackers have changed my Facebook login email ID to a FAKE email id that they have created!

1) Therefore, I immediately locked my Facebook account
2) Further, talked to yahoo tech support and have them delete the fake yahoo id /account

Now, I am trying to unlock my FB account using my old or original email id which I had used to creat my FB acct. However each time I try to log in, the log in page automatically fills in the Fake id that the hackers have linked my account to..
I changed the Fake id to my orignial id in the login page and asked for a PW reset; but facebook still points to fake id to send reset code! It simply does not identify my original email id anymore!

I am hoping to get some help from this Forum.
Thanks!

Hi does this work on a WPMU installation?

Sunflower, have you ever gotten any assistance? Recovering my FB account is an endless nightmare of broken and dead links. On the plus side, I do have more free time, but I would like the account back…

I cannot find the webpage where you can send in a copy of your ID to restore your account. Would you happen to have that link?
