So your book has been published and is available in various formats like ebooks, hardcover, paperback, mp3-4, etc.  Now your promoting your own book as your publisher has asked you to do because your not Dan Brown or James Patterson at your time and expense.  You worry about this new social media thing and you worry about not being a three week statistic.  Then you find out that your ebook has been pirated and your not ever going to see a dime for your work.  You call your publisher and they say they are looking into it__translated this means they haven't a clue how to answer your question, but they smell the music business implosion of their own publishing business.
