He wants $2.85 per. I hope he chokes on it.
I am even more angry that those people who steal from the MR library and upload it to Kobo almost always make a shambles of the ebook they have stolen.

I wonder if I could suggest that there are some more effective things one can do other than hoping someone chokes on their ill gotten gains.

I think you'll find that one of kbook's rules is to the effect that if an upload contains PB material anyone can do anything they like to it.

But I have had some limited success by lodging a complaint and giving evidence that the thief has used non-PD material that I added to the ebook.

I and other people have reviewed ebooks containing stolen material and given them one star reviews on the basis that the book was stolen from the free MR library - and some people at least have found those reviews helpful.

And rightly or wrongly anything I upload to the MR library I now upload to Kobo - for free of course. Kobo customers may as well get the original as is and free rather than something stolen, damaged, and charged for.
