A couple bucks a month for a huge library of short stories, new ones added all the time.<br /><br />I have no idea how that would work, of course, but it seems to me that most of the cable TV and specialty channels came into being once a large library of material already existed - old movies, sci fi, comedy - whaever the specialty, first they offered what already existed and then moved into offering original material.<br /><br />So, there are a huge number of short stories already published online, would it be possible for someone to collect them all (or an awful lot of them) into one place and charge a subscription rate?John McFetridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442198820998606682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-78719384855285368412011-03-30T10:31:37.575-05:002011-03-30T10:31:37.575-05:00'On Demand' makes a great deal of sense, d...'On Demand' makes a great deal of sense, doesn't it?<br /><br />I think one thing to watch for is whether folks are willing to pay 99c per short story download.Steve Weddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03876211586767139613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-5516226834481185942011-03-30T09:38:09.855-05:002011-03-30T09:38:09.855-05:00Very interesting piece.

Their rating algorithm does seem pretty good. It sounds like there must be more non-blockbuster subscribers than I would have thought.seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-67339050976763281182011-03-30T08:37:12.223-05:002011-03-30T08:37:12.223-05:00Oh, yeah.
