BTW, how is this any different from going at a store, sitting down at one of the sofas and reading the book at will? Aside from doing it from your couch, of course.
e-stores usually just provide a few sample chapters, you can't flip pages at will as you can on a physical bookstore.
Can't help but think in the near future free ebooks will be regarded as just a marketing device to move lush hardcovers.
