Canada post rates going up

[Eric B]

Definetly some good ideas and feedback.

Our latest issue of CMP is 122 MB as a PDF. Which would be too large to send out via e-mail. Of course there is probrably a way to reduce this size somewhat.

Plus about 1/4 or more of our members are not on the internet or do not have Internet capability where they live.

If everybody was on line and i knew how to reduce the size, this would definetly be a feasable option.

The issue of logging in to read from a web page might be the reason why other clubs are choosing to go with a non log in version.

Thanks, Lots to ponder.

This is a real concern to me insofar as the future of Service Publications is concerned.
At this rate the cost of postage will have a significant effect on sales and thereby on my ability to produce new books. Although new books reflect current postage (at $10 for a hard cover book), my backlist books are still at the rate in effect when the book was released.
Unlike most publishers of mass market publications, I cannot rely on the sales of e-books nor can I survive on sales to libraries alone. These proposed increases will hit small publishers very hard.
