Why isn't every book in the world converted to perfect eformat? Well let's see... try time, people capable of doing it, people not prepared to pay for the work to be done and everybody wanting something for nothing... tough world isn't it...   |
No, what I want is a product where I judge the quality to be commensurate with the price. The price I pay for eBooks is much higher than that I used to pay for pBooks, yet, there are many more errors.
This is not wanting more for less, this is wanting the same for more.
