No, it's not. My publishing company has a line of 40+ ebooks on computer-aided design. Amazon repeatedly denies my wish to be able to sell the ebooks on their site. And I've been trying for more than a year.

Their reason?

They only take publishers with 1000 or more ebook titles. ]]>

I cannot agree. People go to Starbucks to console themselves, to make themselves feel better.

I work with a former drug addict who is struggling to find work. Every Friday, he goes to Starbucks to buy 4 coffees to hand out to homeless people. He tells me, "It makes them feel better to have a drink of really good coffee -- not the Salvation Army kind."

Autodesk Is My CAD Play http://seekingalpha.com/article/58126-autodesk-is-my-cad-play?source=feed#comment-106466 106466 Fri, 21 Dec 2007 23:30:21 -0500 Autodesk Is My CAD Play http://seekingalpha.com/article/58126-autodesk-is-my-cad-play?source=feed#comment-106465 106465
SolidWorks does not provide "limited competition," but is considered by Autodesk the primary competitor to Inventor.

Acrobat 3D is not "akin to offering gold-plated trinkets on the street outside of Tiffany’s jewelry store" but a completely different product from anything Autodesk offers. For example, Acrobat 3D includes translators for numerous CAD systems, which is not available from Autodesk. ]]>
