I tend to think that a lot of human activity comes down to seeking status and exercising status. "Buy local" is seeking status and "act evil" is exercising status. I'm sure it's more complicated that than, but I think this is a good framewo

Sure. PDFs are natively supported in Kindle 2's and DXes. You can convert PDF's to a supported format for older Kindles. Also, you can sell .mobi files and they work just fine on any Kindle. Once you have a file, you can put it on the Kindl

Some profitable companies operated at a loss for extended period of time at first. Sure, nobody disagrees with that. The point of the post was that it isn't the operating at a loss that makes a business a success, no matter how large the re
