[gutvol-d] Re: is this the beginning of the end?

I anticipate that perhaps 1% of the available titles would ever get ordered by anyone.

I think we can see that this *isn't* true from the PG catalog. Perhaps 90% of the downloads *are* concentrated in a small amount of well known books from well known authors, but the other 10% represents a "fat tail" distribution where lots of people want to read lots of different weird stuff. I do agree that I think too much time gets spent on books that don't get read much -- but that is part and parcel of the self-selection process.
