So, to celebrate my first national sale — even though it was just to a semipro market — I placed an order today for an eBook reader.
I purchased the EZReader Pro.
It has a smaller screen than most readers, jus 5″ vs the usual 6″, but it has a faster process, comes with a crush-proof case, and like an Hanlin derived device reads a large number of formats.
It’s supportive of open-sourced material and it’s not tied to any one supplier for book formatting.
They are supposed to ship at the end of the month and I am looking forward to getting mine.
Baen free eBooks here I come!
All sales are not equal. For consideration to join professional organizations such as SFWA the sale has to be to a pro-market. That means a certain level of distribution and a minimum level of pay. (five cents a word I think for the current definition.) This market pays less than that and so it is a semi-pro.
Bob, Arthur has a question – what exactly is the semi-pro market? Isn’t a sale a sale?
