The fact that there is a seemingly endless supply of free and very cheap ebooks -- AND STILL -- folks complain about the high price of ebooks is PROOF that "we won't be ignoring any future comments about quality".

Why would I be bothered about the high price of clothes at Nordstroms if the clothes at WalMart were just as well made, just as fashionable? I'd just buy my clothes at WalMart.

For once you and I agree on something. I totally support open source for software and creative commons for writing. If folks want to freely give away their labor for the good of society, what could be wrong with that?As a choice.

Copyright and patents are essential concepts for those who would choose to be paid for their work.
