It seems that if I want to be dishonest, I could get all these books for free, so where do you draw the line? I draw it this side of lying about my location.
Kind of off-topic, I know, but if other people are going to talk about it, I'm occasionally going to join in.

I'm fairly sure that it was Billingsgate in Hong Kong who mentioned a little while ago that as an Author with Kobo his fee doesn't differ when his books sell in India.
I hope that Billingsgate sees this post to alert me to the veracity of my recollection.
