hey

interesting point! I guess i was trying to convey the importance of the
shop is not that it is online, as this is nothing new, but that it is an
embeddable shop...capable of being hosted on any site...but now i read
it again I agree with you that this is unclear in that opening
statement...

if we make it 'virtual' then we are repeating the same idea (ie. its the
same as 'online')...so maybe we either make it:

"The shop is situated entirely online, and it sells print on demand versions of our free manuals." 

and leave the 'viral' explanation for later...or....we rework the first paragraph to get through the 'viral' idea better...


any ideas?
