A hyperthetical question.
If you were told by an agent and publisher that your novel had the potential to be a best-seller. Would you want to prohibit kindle sales?

The idea of the kindle makes my skin crawl - having said that, if a publisher ran up to me with a deal tomorrow, I'd say yes so quickly my tongue would snap.
I agree with the points about the appalling price disparity. Downloads should surely be the same price as the hard copy, although many books on Amazon (which is, I believe, the Kindle's prime hunting ground) are cheaper than in shops anyway.
I shouldn't worry, Victoria.
I spelled hypothetical wrong. That will teach me, I have a habit of rushing my posts when I am short of time..
I think you have a good point Adrian. Kindles may be a novelty and although I do like mine over books at the moment, there are things that are not as easy with the kindle, such as flicking back a few pages to find something read earlier. Also, the editing on a Kindle book often seems to be quite poor, with spelling and spacing mistake which irritate me. Kindles are great for taking on planes - you can take loads of reading material without all the weight and bulk of books. I suppose only time will tell.
