One of the other main reasons ebooks costs so much is because they are sold in proprietary formats. Yes, some costs associated with producing, distributing, and selling physical books are diminished, but at the same time, publishers now ha

Here's a big reason you don't see price cuts: the same party isn't bearing all the costs you mention. With physical books, publishers pay for production, freight, and centralized storage for distribution to retailers. Retailers pay for main

I would imagine that they didn't know the content of the letter before intercepting it; that it was just a communication made suspicious by the fact that it was out of India and addressed to Hitler. Then once it's been intercepted, you can

Unless you have storage space and are prepared to handle distribution yourself (including drop-shipping and getting it into stores), POD will probably suit your needs best. Most POD publishers these days have relationships with retailers (

Interesting finding, but I wonder: did they allow those patients to opt-in to the aspirin regimen? If so, it could potentially be related to other confounding variables -- eating healthier or avoiding certain chemicals or some such. Basica

I'm not sure how flimsy Converse are, actually. The top of the shoe is canvas and flexible, sure, but bending the sole (at least on mine, which are relatively new) is pretty difficult, and that's what impedes "proper" foot motion. I get p
