Dorchester's Demise

Super-agent Kristin Nelson is delivering the bad news on the demise of Dorchester, the once mighty publishing company.  See her blog. 

I think it was Kristin who said that Dorchester’s romance line was undermined by e-books.  A lot of women love reading romances, but don’t want to be caught dead with the trashy covers.  They’re buying romance e-books from all sorts of publishers.

Why is this woman smiling?

So if you see a professionally-dressed woman in an airport or business lobby reading something on her data device, it might not be a spreadsheet.
