Tipping point? Grossly hyped. What happened to truth in advertising

Where is your editor? The "tip of the iceberg" is scarcely the "tipping point". At least get your cliches in sync!

Different people mean different things by tipping point and/or tip of the iceberg so why bother attacking them?
After all, some people mean 50% by tipping point and in other cases they simply mean the point of no return.
Anyone who has paid any attention to Barnes and Noble's
or Borders front door displays or Amazon's not physical
similar displays or press releases can hardly deny this
is "The Year Of The eBook" in such locations. Yes, you
could claim, and quite properly, that paper books live,
just as you could have claimed manuscripts lived, years
into the history of The Gutenberg Press. However, this
does not preclude that more eBooks will be created in a
fifty year span centered around now than paper books as
was also the case fifty years into The Gutenberg Press.
However, let's not let the pundits make us forget eBook
SALES only represent a small fraction of the numbers of
eBooks people actually have. None of them ever mention
that there have been cases where a million copies of an
eBook have been downloaded in a single month or year at
such locations as gutenberg.org or worldebookfair.org
Not to mention that more people read eBooks on machines
that are not dedicated eReaders, such as netbooks, cell
phones, MP3 players, iPads, and just plain computers.
Nevertheless, I love it when naysayers still pretend it
is not the case that the time of eBooks has come so I'm
going to wait for your replies and answer each one.

All people deserve good life time and <a href="http://goodfinance-blog.com">loans</a> or college loan can make it much better. Because freedom is grounded on money state.
