Our Audiences


  • Increasingly Web-focused, when looking for content
  • Increasingly specialized (but often multi-specialized) -- "the deep niche"
  • Live in a world of free abundance
  • Trust their friends' opinions more than professional reviewers'
  • Have many devices at their disposal: (cheap book scanners, ebook readers, laptops, formal and informal peer-to-peer "networks")
