Duh..never thought about Shakespeare or Dickens being public domain. I guess it really opened my eyes being able to compare free (donation-supported) websites vs. for-profit booksellers for books. When only pbooks were available the choices were buy it or borrow it.
I have conflicting feelings about this subject and the long-term effects of buying public domain books from a bookseller.
I do agree that special editions or ebooks that took extra effort on the publishers part require payment.
Thanks for turning on the light bulb for me..
Also, I have no plans on quitting the day job anytime soon..
