Ebooks are getting really interactive! I can sense every published writer here flinching slightly at the news that Amazon have enabled a new method (highlighting a passage and typing @author) in the Kindle to ask an author a question directly. So far only a few are signed up and, even with Amazon's connections, it is presumably limited to the a) living and b) tech savvy (which rules out an awful lot of 'em ;-) ) but the possibilities are mind-boggling (e.g. getting to the last page, highlighting the last paragraph, and asking 'well, where is the next volume in the series?!)).

Meanwhile, dead-tree authors will presumably still have to deal with the traditional green/brown ink enquiries...
