If you're not bitter about it, then why do you care what anyone else does? So long as they are not trying to force you to read these books, then IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! You have basically proven Rhardin's point. Nice going. |

Smashwords better be careful about publishing a modern retelling of the Frog Prince, lest it be construed as borderline bestiality... I find some erotica quite distasteful, but regardless of that, I despise hypocrisy more. |

If you haven't read Yasmine Galenorn's "Sisters of the Moon" series, I definitely recommend it. The books are kind of fluffy, but very pro-sex and pro-experimentation, though I would not label them "erotica". It's more like "Charmed" meets "Sex in the City".

I'm always really astonished at people who think that the desire to make money trumps all prejudices. Especially when it's expressed in a thread that is about a place that is making a costly business decision in order to satisfy their prejudices. |

Or did I miss something and PayPal's announcement allowed that books in the public domain were exempt from its restrictions? |
