Phil Parker here. Interesting posts. Here are some links that can clarify for some: Here is a piece about reaching underserved subjects/languages: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jeff-jarvis/davos-2011-too-lit... Here is a current project dealing with agriculture: http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/uae/education/campus-in-abu-dh... Here is a poetry project (graph theoric stuff): http://totopoetry.com/poetry/credits/edgepoetry.htm

My favorite page: http://www.totopoetry.com/search.asp?word=truth I have used this approach to write definitions as well (www.websters-online-dictionary.org) The following contrasts definitions of zealously: 1. In a zealous manner. [Human] 2. In an enthusiastic, fervid, ardent or fervent manner. [graph theoretic] 3. In a fanatical manner. [graph theoretic]

Cheers Phil p.s. most of the “books” are used by businesses in narrow markets, and are econometrically estimated, not compiled from internet sources.

Do you not see your texts as noise in the literary signal?

[philparker]

In many of the langauges/subjects we work in there is very little content published. We avoid areas where there are substanial titles availability already.

Of course, otherwise buyers would compare your content to real books ;)

[tejaswidp]

could you tell us how many books have you been able to sell on amazon?

[philparker]

We've done about 1 million titles, 1.2 million poems, thousands of vids and games, etc.
