All you would need is a good clear voice for reading without stammering or hesitation, and with a lively, instead of monotone voice. It wouldn't matter if you sat in a wheelchair, or had no use of arms and legs.

The same reading could be put on tape or CD. Besides audio, CD might have a graphics or flash movie version as well.

If you know, or could learn some web design skills, you could volunteer or make small paying arrangements with various authors to turn their books into e-books. If they have a website they might be happy to pay you a small commission on each downloadable copy sold alongside of their print book.

If they don't have a website - guess what - you have skill, so offer to build that author a simple one or two page website to sell her books. All it needs to be is a terrific sales letter with ordering links at bottom. You'd think writer could write up that effective sales letter, right? You'd just copy and paste it into web page.

Should it happen that you have more advanced skills, or they grow on you, why not set up a library, or bookstore of ebooks? Market it specifically to those who need benefit of being able to read a book on their computer.

Hey-hey, before too long even those with 20-20 vision will come snooping around, praising advantages of digital books. You'll be a trend-setter.

The whole publishing world is like it's just had an earthquake, and after-shocks haven't all hit yet. The dust hasn't settled on all changes coming. Be a Mover and a Shaker.

Plagiarism.org has developed a statistics-based technology (the "Document Source Analysis") which creates a "digital fingerprint" of every document in its database. Web crawlers are then unleashed to scour Internet and find documents with same fingerprint and a colour-coded report is generated. An instructor, teacher, or professor can then use report to prove plagiarism and cheating.

Piracy is often considered to be a form of viral marketing (even by software developers and publishers). The author's, publisher's, or software house's data are preserved intact in cracked copy. Pirated copies of e-books often contribute to increased sales of print versions. Crippled versions of software or pirated copies of software without its manuals, updates and support - often lead to purchase of a licence. Not so with plagiarism. The identities of author, editor, publisher and illustrator are deleted and replaced by details of plagiarist. And while piracy is discussed freely and fought vigorously - discussion of plagiarism is still taboo and actively suppressed by image-conscious and endowment-weary academic institutions and media. It is an uphill struggle but plagiarism.org has taken first resolute step.
