Just because some idiots write fake reviews you get all excited over nothing.
I doubt that profits from all of these 3000$-6000$ research tomes would constitute that gained by a single twilight novel, sad where our priorities lie.
Daddy, we are not excited about a research book being expensive but about a reseach eBook!!!! There is a difference and that is what makes it funny.
