I would also think that if one had to cite a source today, it would be kosher to cite it as iBook/Nook/Kindle because the format isn't going to make that much of a difference given that we still have a long way to go before the devices become more ubiquitous. That having been said, I presume that you saw the recent price race between the Nook and the Kindle. I kinda expect Apple to cut the price of the iPad to compete, but the problem there is that if they cut too much, they will be cutting into the iPod Touch market.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('30','ProfessorTom'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('30','ProfessorTom','<a href=\'#comment-29\' rel=\"nofollow\">@J<\/a> - That would make sense.

I try to keep things fair and balanced. I know at the end of the day we’re all just people trying to live life to the fullest.

Doing business is about more than just exchanging money for a good or service; it’s about making a connection with the people on both sides of the counter so that customers keep coming back again and again and again and enjoy the experience every time.

I’ll send you an email momentarily to follow up on the points you made here.

I’m glad I could make you feel appreciated and give you your 15 seconds of Internet fame. Thanks for tweeting the link. The Watchful is just starting, so we appreciate any and all traffic we can get.

Hope you have a good day off,
PT

This worked for me because there was a number of controlled variables. First, there was an internet presence of my target audience. Second, I had a way to make them aware of my post and I knew that they were actively listening. Thirdly, I was polite (a first for me, I assure you) and finally, I listed the benefits to my target, not to me. Nevertheless, if you can get a big enough campaign going, you might be able to sway your apartment complex.
