Now picture this.. you go digging around the darknet and find an eBook of an author or series you've wanted to try. So you download it and read it and enjoy it. Now you go back looking for more but more isn't there. So you go buy.

Take the eBook scenario and let's do it with the new agency model. So you go to the library and borrow the pBook and don't buy cause eBook prices are too high.
