Show went very well. I managed to sell around 27 books, and gave the rest out to publishers, retailers, and press.

Perfect size (just smaller than a sheet of paper), the keyboard detaches so I can draw right on the screen alone, lightweight, etc. Since I was sick all last week I lost ... http://www.houseofoctober.com/news/2006/06/28/inking-on-my-new-tablet-pc/ This first two chapters will most likely be put online here this weekend sometime.
