Well I think it is a bit like giving away the first book in English, for free, and then the rest are for sale in Latin. "Oh sorry, you dont read Latin, how funny." I mean who the hell reads Latin, besides Harry of course.
No one is angry about the free books. We are angry about the lack of availability of e books. I thought that was obvious actually. Perhaps this is all an over reaction but it comes at the end of a looong fight by dedicated people trying there best to get e readers and electronic books more available and accepted. There are loads of comments on this forum made by people hoping Tor would make e books available. Then it seems our prayers are answered only they are not. We dont all want free stuff on this forum. If that was the reality we would all be nicking stuff off the darknet now wouldn't we? We want to buy books, e books.
I suppose we didn't get screwed but we were disappointed and we were misled and Tor did miss a great marketing opportunity and they did screw it up.
Not so very complicated really.
