Electronic Mini-Books That Allow Writers to Stretch Their Legs

Kindle Singles are works of long-form journalism that seek out that sweet spot between magazine articles and hardcover books.
I thought I could make that look nicer...anyway, I wasn't aware of these "singles" (which makes me think of slices of American cheese, but whatever), in part, I am sure, because I am desperately trying to stick to "real," flesh and blood (or paper and ink) books.
But I like this idea a lot. Essays, in general, are just a great idea. And these remind me of the broadsides of yore - quick, cheap, accessible to the masses but also potentially brilliant and thought-provoking.
Nice.
