Speaking of that whole writer > blogger > podcaster > publisher > reader relationship thingie, John Scalzi has more to say on the subject.
It seems that Robert J. Sawyer (sf author and publisher) and Evo Terra (sf commentator and podcaster) "are having a rather lengthy discussion on their Web sites about whether e-books are really a way to get one's self known as a science fiction author."
Mr. Scalzi makes an interesting point that I had kind of suspected, but not being a writer or publisher had no real way to verify, to wit: no one really knows what effect distributing one's printed work online has on the sales of that book (or other books by that author for that matter.)
If you're interested in this subject too, check out his post, and follow the links through the Sawyer/Terra conversation as well.
