Random thoughts and conclusion about Dbooks

This is a great jabi! I think it will become quite popular.

• You can monetize older posts which are past the 7 day payout.
• You can reach a new audience.
• Someone will need to develop a directory. Automated would be great. Maybe like DMoz used to be. Anyone remember that? It took quite some time to put together the list of books and categories.
• I have a book about Backgammon, I would like to publish here.
  Hmm which box are those notes in? (We just recently moved...)
  • For the developers:
    • Export to pdf would be cool. I know there is a php script for this.
    • Hats off to you!

Almost forgot to plug my contest!
