I think maybe desertblues was commenting on the likely outcome when an ebook that is available for free goes up against one that must be purchased? Not so here though as both runoff contenders are not in the public domain.

Since this poll resulted in a tie, I have posted a run-off vote poll. I will not vote in the run-off poll except to break a tie.

More like a run-away (Run away! Run away! —Monty Python) given the two books.
