bookofjoe (Kindle Edition) — Episode 3: There's plenty of room at the bottom

Regular readers may recall that when I last addressed this topic on December 13 of last year, I had a grand total of 4 (IV; four) Kindle subscribers (top).

At the time I remarked on the fact that I knew who three of them were, by name.

It occurred to me this morning that on this scale, I can easily afford to offer a personal touch and add value to a Kindle subscription.

If I'm getting $1.40/month from you ($1.99/month subscription rate x 70%), it's the least I can do.

So here's what I've decided: from this moment forward, anyone who subscribes to bookofjoe on Kindle

will automatically receive, at no additional charge, around-the-clock email access to my crack research team for any and all questions, even the most trivial or absurd.

Wait a minute, joe: hasn't that feature been in effect ever since bookofjoe went live back in 2004?

I mean, you put a link to your email address (bookofjoe@gmail.com) right there at the top of your home page — so what's the big whoop about this "new" benefit?

Never mind.
