llasram, the interim results from my experimental business model may cast some light on this thread. My site has been open for five weeks and so far over 5,000 ebooks have been downloaded. I have received payment for 61. The most charitable gloss I can put on this is that people do not like the books; or perhaps they are all unusually slow readers. In either case it sends me a clear message, which I fully intend to heed, about what I should be doing with my time in future. I salute those honourable few such as yourself, who paid, but you are in a tiny minority.
zelda, as a private citizen I fully support the idea of a properly run and funded public library system. It was one of the great civilizing influences of the nineteenth century. But can you explain to me why some of the poorest people in society -- the authors -- should be made to subsidize it?
