All the arguments about what format is best get really old after awhile, In fact, the readers at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books are tired enough of hearing them that they’ve come together to come up with words to describe people who are a little too adamant about any format (here’s a link <\/a>to SB Sarah’s original post… to see the reader comments, which are fabulous, scroll down past the bit on ebook deals).<\/p>\n
