So it appears that at least 80% of John's "toil" consists of scanning other people's work and dropping it into stock calendar forms (on the plus side, as I'm also an amateur photographer, I'm seeing a possible new market here ... I didn't know people bought illustrated calendars for their Kindles). Frankly, given the post I replied to earlier, I was expecting something involving literary effort, not just a few scans of out-of-copyright pictures.

I was also curious about the reaction to "DRM keeps people from pirating" versus the claim of being an "author". I guess you can author a Kindle calendar, it just wasn't my go-to assumption.
