At present, however, I don’t think the Net is a very good medium for books, books should really be inexpensive lightweight paperbacks you can bang around.

Advice to beginning SF writers? Write a lot, finish what you write, and when it’s done, keep sending it out for quite awhile.

Electronic distribution is more of a fall-back strategy for putting out a book that isn’t deemed profitable enough to print. You hardly make any money publishing an electronic book.
