Its interesting to me that Adobe is able to monetize PDF creation, when there are good free alternatives. Acrobat itself is too expensive ($300). I now see they are offering other price points for an online service for PDF creation:
- Free 5 trial (5 documents)
- $10/month
- $100/yearQuoted: Create Adobe PDF Online is the easy way to create professional-looking PDF documents. Offered by Adobe Systems, the inventors of the PDF file format.

Chris Anderson's (The Long Tail) book "Free" is free to read online on Google Books (no longer free on Kindle - now $10).

You can now pay for quota increases on AppEngine. They also REDUCED the amount of free quota for free. They say they have been under-reporting resource usage as they were not counting indexes as "storage". This has been fixed and the new console report the total storage used.

I'm looking forward to reading Sarah's book on Web 2.0 companies. Strangely, the Kindle version is MORE EXPENSIVE than the hardback? How can that be?
Hardback: $17
Kindle: $20If the book were a "best seller" - it would sell for $10 on Kindle. But I don't see how Amazon justifies selling the Kindle version for more than the hardback price.
Sarah is rumored to be planning a book tour - hopefully coming to Seattle as well.
