Lastly, kindly forgo all civility in your discourse . . . you are, after all, anonymous.

European Finance Ministers meet again on Wednesday to solidify the 2nd bailout package for Greece at the same time hopefully a deal is consummated between Greece and its creditors this week. The Greek 14.5b euro bond that matures on March 20th is up by 2 pts. The optimism that all will be completed and contained AGAIN to Greece has yields lower in Portugal, Spain and Italy.

This is great, thanks for letting us know. I just signed up for it. I hope you get a portion of the big monthly fee. ;-)

Just out of curosity, what’s the revenue model? How much do you get? How much does wordpress get? Is it Amazon just pulling the rss feed?

BR: No idea — you submit the URL, and they determine the price.

Nice! The more distribution of your material the better.

Amazon has caught a lot of flack recently for bullying people around and setting pricing conditions.
Another oligopoly?

I’m sure they are out there…but I personally have never seen a Kindle in public and know no person who either owns one or has ever mentioned one.

Steve Barry, Bob A…think back to 30 years ago, then replace the word “Kindle” in your comments with the phrase “mobile phone.” A Kindle-like device will be what your grandkids use for their school textbooks. They’ll wonder why we dedicate entire rooms of our homes to housing paper books that are non-unsearchable and often non-portable. My Kindle goes with me everywhere. I can’t say the same for my extensive paper library. The society will continue to move toward mobility and ubiquity, even if some of us don’t see a reason to.
