About Me

A blog wherein a literary agent will sometimes discuss his business, sometimes discuss the movies he sees, the tennis he watches, or the world around him. In which he will often wish he could say more, but will be obliged by business necessity and basic politeness and simple civility to hold his tongue. Rankings are done on a scale of one to five Slithy Toads, where a 0 is a complete waste of time, a 2 is a completely innocuous way to spend your time, and a 4 is intended as a geas compelling you to make the time.

The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend

Another interesting piece of news with a little more depth to it than you get from the press release.

A company called Spring Design with a forthcoming e-book device called the Alex eReader will be featuring the forthcoming Borders.com e-book store as the default store for the Alex.

What makes this interesting is that Spring Design sued B&N over the design of the Nook.

Isn't it exciting to have lawsuits and bed-hopping in the e-book world entering the nice staid world of publishing!
