I sent an e-mail to Baen Books today. Enough of you have e-mailed us suggesting that we contact them about the project that it seems like a worthwhile thing to do. Not only are we interested in hearing publisher's perspectives, Baen has a history of being proactive in how they market their books. They've been known to release e-formats of their books in the past - if we could talk someone into letting us analyze their back catalog, we could learn some interesting things, perhaps.
So if you happen to know anyone at Baen Books, mention that they should chat with us. Should be an interesting conversation.
The VC conversation went well, today. It was a good introduction - roughly 20 minutes long - and I think that's an open door we can explore when we decide for sure what we want to do in terms of "next moves". Most likely that sort of thing will be moving forward towards the end of April when we have some additional meetings, and we'll have a better idea of how different cards lay.
Technically, I should make a little update post in the semi-daily updates... but it's Friday, about 6:30 p.m. and time to go rent a movie.
Have a good weekend, everyone.
Aaron
