I don't have a problem with it......with all the digital stuff now authors can start doing away with publishers and that way we aren't shafted by having to pay 40 bucks because the only copies are in hardcover wich sucks for a book that can be read in a few hours.............my living pretty well relies on print and I still see a point to actually printing stuff but most novels really don't need to be put on peper anymore so an author can now say "ok, Ill write my story, I figure that out of 6 billion people 1 million should want to read it, I'll charge say, 3 bucks a piece to download from from my website and that should keep me going until I write the next story" But yeah, some I've bought some books a few times over my life and now I really don't have a problem find them out thier on the net......I'd actually pay for the download but a lot of them just aren't out there to buy.................I actually felt bad once and wanted to send the author 5 bucks but I couldn't find an address.

well, one day the whole mess will sort itself out and creativity will be rewarded appropriately
