So you know Steve Jobs? The guy who resuscitated Apple computers and brought the iPhone into being? He's a bit of an electronics industry legend and guru. This is what he said a little while back about handheld e-readers: "It doesnt matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that people dont read anymore," he said. "Forty percent of the people in the U.S. read one book or less last year. The whole conception is flawed at the top because people dont read anymore." Just thought you'd like to know.

The SnowBlog is one of the oldest publishing blogs, started in 2003, and it's been through various content management systems over the years. A 2005 techno-blunder meant we lost the early years, but the archives you're reading now go all the way back to 2005.

Many of the older posts in our blog archive suffer from link rot. Apologies if you see missing links and images: let us know if you'd like us to find any in particular.
