And seriously, didn't you say you would pay the authors through donations after you have read their books? Apparently that isn't quite true, according to your above statements you couldn't afford to donate the money after you have read the books and found them worthy, either. Or were you planning to donate 50 cents for a book that now costs $10?

Why do you think it is always right to not have what you want? (especially for free) These are just opinions, one is as good as another.
I read one book every two days, these are usually non-fiction with price tags from 20-100 dollars. That kind of money is just not in my budget, are you saying I should not read these books? This sounds like censorship.

Reading books makes me happy, I do agree that the price of all digital content is heading rapidly towards zero, as has been stated repeatedly for years.
