Can't say what it means, but thought this was interesting:

Digital Photography School Sells 3,000+ eBooks in One Week
by Michael Zhang on December 1, 2009
According to an email sent out to affiliates, Digital Photography School has sold over 3,000 copies of their first ebook, The Essential Guide to Portrait Photography, in the first week of sales.

Darren Rowse, founder of Digital Photography School, blogger behind ProBlogger, and co-founder of the b5media blog network, has proved once again that he knows the ins and outs of the online publishing business.

One of the things Darren did in promoting this book was to reach out to photography-related blogs (ourselves included) and offer them affiliate partnerships. Affiliates link to the book using a special link, and are paid a 40% commission for every sale made through the link. With the special $14.95 opening week price, this translates to $5.98 for each sale made.

I've never done such a thing, and I have no idea if such results are repeatable or generally 'normal'. Just passing it on.
 
Why not ask you Bill? You use digital (as do many of us) and seem to promote it's goodness (as don't many of us), so you seem pretty well situated to expound on what exactly digital photography is, as opposed to "regular" photography (where the medium is not specified.)

I'm especially curious as I have just finished a series where I mix digital and traditional photography, with an eye toward the digitalness, even of my film shots (which were treated very digitally in post.)
 
I've heard (read) Bill repeatedly express a strong liking for black and white film ... he can't be trusted! :p
