There are some big differences as well. You buy the model data to use in creating an image, and that doesn't seem to me to fit well with the conventional IP thinking which is out there. Derivative works? It strikes me that there are some similarities between eBooks and the models made for low-cost CGI, which are sold by outfits such as DAZ 3D and Renderosity.

I hope publishers do figure it out before a lot of them go under. And I wish you all success in the future. For @Tymber Dalton, there is a free conversion for Word, PDF, etc. to go to a Kindle; you email the document to Amazon and they email it back to you in "Kindle format" which is just Mobi with DRM. Then you have to cable the resulting file to your Kindle. Since the email conversion that sends directly to the Kindle is only 15 cents a MB, I usually rely on that. In fact, I just blogged today about how <a href="http://karen-w-newton.livejournal.com/152467.html" rel="nofollow">you can buy ebooks form Ficitonwise</a> and have them go straight to your Kindle.
