To get to the meat, we'd need insider info, but it's not like we'd catch such a break on an amateur forum. Still, for what it's worth, revenue information is better than no information at all.

I don't think I want it to go down under either because it stands as a force against overpriced hardcopy distribution. The lacking of financials and that ambiguious statement about profits made me suspect that they are looking for more liquidity to pay out their shareholders rather than concentrating on getting the business stable : a sign of hype to damage to credibility of the industry should it collapse.
