Browser compatibility with Scribd.com

The actuality is hard to describe, but my opinion is fairly easy to state.  Using this document on Scribd.com, I think that Google Chrome displays it best.  Safari and Firefox display it differently from Chrome, but about the same as each other, and are tied for second place.  Internet Explorer 8 comes in a distant last place.

Maybe I'm missing a plugin, or something.

Bootstrapping digital goods

A low-cost method of selling digital goods online is provided gt E-junkie.com. I've used the service as a consumer to buy a instant e-book download, which is relatively compact.

E-junkie pricing involves only a monthly subscription fee; with no bandwidth cost, no per transaction fee, or any other hidden fee.  Currently, the minimum monthly subscription fee is $5 per month, which is not payable until after the free 7-day trial period.

The bootstrap strategy is simple.  Line up your ducks so that you can sell at least $5 in digital goods in the first 7 days, during the free trial period, and at least that much every month afterwards, and your fixed costs are covered.
