While the reviews are always popular and the sample from the anthology I am in was as well, by far and away the most popular piece for the month was Dave Zeltsterman’s follow up piece to his original post “E-books and The Future” that first appeared on September 1, 2010. When his sequel piece appeared on July 12 of this year the site visits exploded. Both pieces are well worth your time and attention.
