If anything, you shouldn't get angry about this - you should see it as a business opportunity. This is giving you the perfect chance to start up your own ebookstore!  |
The main problem with this frequently put forward argument, is that one can't simply do that. E-Commerce providers, including Amazon, Google, and Paypal, won't allow sellers to use their service to sell such items. Not because the subject matter is a higher risk, but simply because of the content.
So you end up having to go with one of the "high risk item" providers, who care less about the content, but charge fees that make it virtually unprofitable.
