I'd still like to know why your book on Amazon isn't priced at $0.00. Hypocritical much?
So you are saying that the textual needs of some need to be subsidized? As groceries are? Where is this line drawn? And why in this age of infinite technological possibility does it even need to be drawn??

We cannot live by bread alone. Meaning yes there is a textual need. Entertainment is subjective. Nonfiction is highly entertaining to me. And it is also very helpful and instructive. What price knowledge?

If Amazon had instituted an inbook donation system to allow my book to be read before purchasing I would have used it. Of course I don't really think that it is my book.
