Whether ebooks or pbooks, the idea of always sharing my books doesn't appeal to me. It's okay once in a while, but not on a regular basis, I think. I mean, why should I be the one who spends hundreds of dollars on books, and then give it to you for free?

That's sort of my approach to piracy, as well. Sure, I'm not a fan of copyright infringement; but if I'm being completely honest, my reasons for not distributing books is entirely selfish. Why should I provide for free something that I spent my hard earned money on?

You want books? Go get your own.
I'm pretty sure, now, that I must be on "afa"s ignore list. It has been my
contention that it goes against human nature to spend your own money to
provide for others, who just want something for free. (But then there are
Democrats, oh wait they want to spend other peoples money.) So there are
very few who would be giving away ebooks that they have purchased.

You want books? Go buy your own.

Luck;
Ken
