Who is going to pay for this site? Why are they going to spend money sifting through an endless supply of novels to try and figure out who the real author is? And who care's who the real author is? Is "Dune by Joe Shmoe" any less desirable than "Dune by Frank Herbert" when they are the exact same book? Who knows....maybe Joe Shmoe makes an even better cover or sprinkles illustrations throughout the book.

Internet 2.0. Restructuring of the network, an end to anonymity, all work will be traced back to the source, nothing will exist without attribution.
The authentic site will be one that the most popular creators spend most of their time at, the readers will follow. All other sites will be fully capable of hosting ebooks, attributable as always to the creator, but the authentic site will be where the money is.
NO BOOK WILL BE SOLD, ALL WILL BE FREELY GIVEN.
It seems that some think that if I give a book away, another will be able to sell it somewhere else, this is not the case.
NOTHING DIGITAL WILL BE SOLD.
