I love to read books and I was thinking of a new business model for online bookstores. Allow customers who pay a monthly fee to either rent or buy as many e-books as they want. When the customer downloads the books, the publishers and writers will then share a commission from the monthly fee that was paid by the customer.
This is value for money for customers who will have access to as many books as they want. Writers and publishers will benefit from increased sales of their books. I am curious if Amazon or Barnes & Nobles or any of the other major online bookstores will move into this new business model.
The model already works for music and movies, it is a matter of applying it to books next as more of them become available in digital format. |

Ok, this is an idea about an idea. I have always been wondering what is it that makes a movie a good movie?
It's the idea, stupid! The one spark that gets your script going, and you've got your film... |

Set up a business that gives instant product rebates to consumers. For example, if someone buys an item with a $50 rebate, the business would give the consumer a $25 instant rebate, eliminating the wait time of 8 to 12 weeks and the paperwork that would have to be submitted... |

What you do is you enter somebody else's property without their permission, and plant seeds. Maybe put daffodils in an unloved corner owned by the electricity company, or turn a dis-used lot into an allotment for the year... |

I made this thought for people like me who work at the office until very late. A very anatomic chair that unfolds and turns into a bed so that you can sleep a few hours when working late in the office... |
