July 29, 2010 12:35 pm I work for a publishing company (not comics, regular books) so I feel I can add to the behind the scenes on the digital/print question. Have we done research on this? Not tons. It's not as easy as it sounds, and it is expensive and time consuming. I've seen our editors' jobs turn from just editing and working with authors to blogging/tweeting and providing more marketing materials. I've seen our designers' jobs go from strictly book layout and design to full service design: print and web. So while it would be deliciously ideal to have one person or a team working on this digital issue, it's way more complicated. In addition, the entire publishing industry is running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to figure out/waiting to see what is going to fly and what isn't. Who's buying the hardware? Who wants the digital product? How many units? How to market? And I don't even want to say anything about rights management.

I'm glad to see relationship advice being dispensed on iFanboy again!

I think jimski and convoy83 hit the nail on the head there: it's not so important that you have someone that shares your exact interests, more important that they share the same level of intimacy. If you're looking for someone to join to the hip with, they better be looking for the same thing. Ditto the other way.

I'd prefer someone who had their own life also, I enjoy talking geek with all my friends' husbands, but I'm glad to give them back at the end of the evening.
