My scintillating look at the issues with MySQL, BOOLEAN, and ColdFusion :-)

So, my post has been up all day, and I just realised I hadn't linked to it here yet. If you haven't seen it, well, today was my day at Wicked & Tricksy!

E-Books Keep On Truckin' But Print Isn't Dead Yet

The American Association of Publishers (AAP) have released their figures for March.

The headline figures were that e-books grew 145.7% year-on-year from March 2010 (in revenue terms), and print bounced back after a terrible start to the year, with two categories showing gains.

Adult Hardcover was up 6% year-on-year and Adult Mass Market Paperback grew 1.2%. Adult Trade Paperback fell 7.7%.

Despite that drop, Adult Trade Paperback was the #1 selling format at $115.9m, followed by Adult Hardback at $96.6m, e-books at $69m, and Adult Mass Market Paperback at $55.2m.

New blog, first post on procrastination (Link in signature).

Writing is so much fun...too bad I have to do other things like clean house and wash my armpits.

Crazy day today.

First, I wrote about Amazon now selling more e-books than all print: http://davidgaughran.wordpress.com/2011 ... op-seller/

And then I received my new cover from my designer, uploaded to Amazon, and it went on sale an hour later!: http://davidgaughran.wordpress.com/2011 ... the-world/

Oh, I heard about it and as always, I... and the rest of the world is missed the end of the world. :)
