1) Posting a small excerpt for Fair Use [from a book or ebook] is allowed for use to provide commentary from our members for critical discussions and 'argumentative' analyses.
2) Posting an entire chapter would bring into question the Fair Use copyright issue. There are no hard-and-fast rules on the 'transformative' and 'limited' purpose of Fair Use, [two of the argued issues used to control Fair Use copyright, so that copyright is NOT violated.]
Mobileread chooses, therefore, not to have an excerpted chapter reproduced on its site.
