You might want to give this article a read: http://mobileopportunity.blogspot.com/2006/05/removing-middleman-part-3-books.html

Theres also a follow on article about producing an ebook reader/digital notebook: http://mobileopportunity.blogspot.com/2006/05/desperately-seeking-info-pad.html


thanks, I've read these... but I re-read them now :)


Am I reading this right?

"believe that books going digital is great business opportunity on the long run (in the next 5-10 years)"

== you will only be compensated with stock OR we don't expect to bring in any money for a while. (not that that's bad for a startup partner.)

:)


yes. I'm working alone on an idea. Plus I work full time as a software developer and have a small baby at home. I'm trying to find partners who hopefully have more time or at least interest and willingness. I don't see this being a full time activity at the moment -- I wish it was ;) I think a working prototype can be built in 5-6 months, this can start generating some revenue but I don't expect that to be huge amount of money. The goal is to establish a merket share and have a stable userbase by the time ebooks really pick-up.


Wow, 30 mintues and 51 people contacted me and they all want to become my partner!

... well, not really :)
