Uhm, yeah... how does it take less time to quote me and write something instead of ignoring my post completely, which you did before?
I don't answer to all of the postings in this thread and quote them in full just to say "agree" or "disagree". All that would possibly do is annoy people who follow the thread.
Also you can't disagree on me thinking it to be sad that I can't actively avoid your books. It's what I think (and feel), and whatever you think or feel about it, it will not change anything.
And disagreeing on "enough people are honest"... well... no sense to argue with you any further if that's what you think.
Hope they handcuff you when entering a store and search you when leaving... for your own good and that of society. You know: no one can be trusted.
And now you compare books to lemonade? Well, yes... if your book is the same as any other book on the market, you're right. Then I'd get the free version (or the free lemonade).
But if the free lemonade tastes like dishwater and the 10 cent lemonade tastes like a drop of artificial flavour in a glass of lukewarm water but your 25 cent lemonade is cool, will taste fresh and is simply superiour to the others, I will buy your 25 cent lemonade.
The same goes for books.
I've downloaded a load of free ebooks, but have read only one so far (a "book" of 27 pages). All of the other books I've read, I've bought... And getting the free books didn't stop me from buying others which did interest me more.
