Aspiring author Kathy Lynn Harris noticed a year ago that it seemed like everybody on airplanes was using e-readers and not reading print books anymore.
So she decided it was time to give up the dream of finding a traditional publisher and publish her novel, "Blue Straggler," the digital way.
Within a few months, "Blue Straggler" was successful enough to attract 30,000 downloads, 59 reviews on Amazon.com and an ink-on-paper indie-book publisher, 30 Day Books of Seattle, which is getting her book into bookstores.
