It is not a philosophical question

The rest of your comment (again) drifted into this. Talk about the business and some solutions geared toward that, because, quite honestly, no one is going to change philosophical points of view here...this is real clear to me now.

My concern is solutions that put money into author's pockets. I think a growing, health eBook market that appeals to eBook *buyers* can make that happen. All other discussion is really mental to me at this point here on mobileread and I'm really not interested in discussing people's "feelings" anymore.

Let's talk about the market landscape as it exists in 2007 and beyond and get guys like you paid.

To me, this is worth discussion.
