I recently conducted a focus group with local authors, and put this proposition to them:
* Would you consider DONATING a single copy of your ebook file to the library if we agree to...
* Preserve, review, recommend, and digitally display it;
* Buy an extra copy for every four people who are waiting for it;
* Put a "click here to buy" button in our catalog, with the understanding that you'll share in the revenue of the sale (say, we take 10% AND YOU GET 90%).
Guess what?
They said, "Yes."
Are we talking to the right people?
