i think i want your job if you can afford that, AND have enough time to read 238 dollars worth of books  |
Naw... Actually you *don't* want a job! You want to go 'medically disabled' and get enough of a settlement to pay for all those books!!! (Seriously, if it weren't for the settlement that allowed me to buy the ebooks, I'd go start raving *BONKERS*!!!) And I'm working very hard to get back to the point where I *can* work!
But until I do get back to health and work, I need every ebook I can lay my hands on. And there's no way I'm going to pay extra - per ebook - to convert my extensive library to run on the Kindle. Like I said, give or sell me an inexpensive, standalone program I can run on my own PC and I'll gladly shell out for a Kindle.
However, this pay-per-conversion clearly is Yet Another Way To Milk Excess Profits From Unsuspecting Readers! Bad Amazon! Bad! Bad!
