As it happens in one of the ebook I put in the MR library the person who uploaded it to Kobo stripped out about half of the material I put in, and in another the uploader left in all of the material - three or four pages worth. Kobo's response (if I understand them correctly) was that it's a Public Domain ebook, so they can do what they like. I'm at least as angry at Kobo as I am at the people who did it. |

Unless "your writing to be edited mercilessly" applies to the forums as well, that is not a fair comparison. |
