    Uhm…iPhone rival? or Kindle rival? The article is about an ebook reading app for the iphone that, they say, will rival the Kindle.

    Except…who the hell told the dumb publishers that you should charge 20 bucks per ebook??? Come on! Baen charges $5/book and they a) get lots of business and b) sell even more paper books.

    I don’t get publishers that want to rip off their customers.
