Will digital books be a boon or bust for journalists? Stephen Beale sends word — from a workshop by the Association of Health Care Journalists — that it's a mixed bag, quoting Jim Azevedo of Smashwords: "When people ask, 'What’s the best thing about Smashwords?' we say, 'We make it fast, free and easy for any author anywhere in the world to publish and distribute a book.' When they ask, 'What’s the worst thing about Smashwords?' we give them the same answer."
