“If you take away my family’s bread, I’ll take you down — the government needs to know that,” Meletis says. “And don’t call us anarchists if that happens! We’re heads of our families and we’re desperate.”

I asked the New York Public Library how many ePub titles are available for loan:
@mikecane we have 1752 ePub titles in the digital library, but multiple copies of many titles… are you looking for total number of copies?
NY Public Library

The Museum of Idolatry is the worlds largest collection of artifacts of apostasy. We have over 1500 exhibits and we’re adding new exhibits regularly.
If this is your first time visiting please feel free to grab a beverage and take your time wandering through the museum. This site provides a front row seat for the Great Apostasy that is sweeping through the “Christian” Church.

With such a “buzz” on Social Media…and a highly orchestrated campaign to combine traditional media to ensure its success…it seemed as though the movie, “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” was destined to be a big hit at the box office.
Imagine the surprise — it could better be described as “shock” in some corners — when the film, despite the average review giving it four out of five stars, opened with only $10.6 million in its opening weekend. Josh Tyler at Cinema Blend dubs it “one of the biggest flops of the year.”

How many of the free accounts was I able to upgrade to paid? I didn’t fare any better upselling users: 0.8% of free user accounts eventually upgraded to paid.

This has implications for those self-publishing eBooks too. For what is selling an app or web app on your own anything other than self-publishing?
