My wife the amazing art quilter and Kindle enthusiast   Interview starts at 14:08 and ends at 39:48   A friend of mine said, “How many times have you dropped a Paperwhite in the tub?” And she’s right. I never have. And so at that point I decided that I was just going to hold the Kindle, and if it fell into the tub I would deal with it.   News “Half of Net Proceeds Is the Fair Royalty Rate for E-Books” at the Authors Guild - July 9, 2015 “Bread and Roses” by Hugh Howey at The Wayfinder - January 24, 2014 “Opinion: Apple Watch sales plunge 90%” by Brett Arends at MarketWatch - July 8, 2015 “Apple Watch Sales Aren’t Looking So Hot” by Aaron Tilley at Forbes - July 1, 2015 “After crushing rival smartwatch sales, Apple Watch portrayed as doomed by CNBC” by Daniel Eran Dilger at Apple Insider - June 28, 2015 Apple WatchCast episode 18 My 2014 interview with the cofounders of Spritz in TKC 323 Bigger than Black Friday?
