Is that because they aren't interested in the whole digital concept for children's books? If I weren't married to a man who loves digital gadgets, I probably wouldn't be thinking about this either. But kids are really smart about these things! And reading on a tiny cell phone screen will probably be just fine with them. And I'd like them to be reading some of my stories -- no matter whether on paper or an iPhone.<br />Sheila WelchSheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02891797060944709216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2312163032781475454.post-43371508331192602732010-05-27T17:32:32.410-05:002010-05-27T17:32:32.410-05:00Hi Sheila,

We'll have the in-app featured released in a few weeks and all the books will be sold individually. <br /><br />We started with public domain stories because there were no copyright issues. However, we will be offering original works by the community of talented authors and illustrators. We hope you and Kate will be part of that community.David K.

Thanks, Kate, for this interesting interview!...Hi!<br /><br />Thanks, Kate, for this interesting interview! Kids of today are ready for the take-over by technology that some of us are resisting. But I am wondering about getting stories published by MeeGenius. I am confused about payment to authors. My husband used his phone to order MeeGenius books -- and for $1.99 paid to iTunes he got access to their entire list. Most of the books are rewritten, familiar, old stories with cartoonish illustrations. I e-mailed them to see if I can get a clarification. Maybe in the future they will be charging for each book? I'll make another comment after they get back to me.<br />Have a great day!

Thanks for this, Kate. I'm...Very interesting. Thanks for this, Kate. I'm sure it's true that people are much more likely to drop $1.99 on a digital book than $16 on a hard copy. I sure hope so, since it's just as much work for the author/illustrator to create, and we'll need that high volume to make it worthwhile!McDonnellDoodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03565384212312004061noreply@blogger.com
