I have just blocked their newsfeed from my Facebook page and will also be blocking their emailed newsletter - I have no intention of using any of their books except the 2nd hand ones from the $1 rack at the twice yearly 2nd hand book clearance sale (and that'll really help their profits!)

I know Smashwords has a reputation for being the ugly stepchild of book publishing, but I am loving the new discoveries I made there. I paid .99 for "The Mill River Recluse." And the price was so good that a recently paid .99 a second time so I could send a copy to a friend of mine. (That is what the policy is in the front cover for if you want to buy one for yourself and send to a friend). I paid more than that for two coffees at Tim's!
I am currently liking it and found out recently that it was one of the indie HITS.
