I think some of us are missing the forest for the trees. From my perspective anyway. Buy a hard back, borrow a friends book. Fine. Just keep in mind that this isn't milk and butter and bread. Spend a LITTLE of your mind space on "am I supporting the art" or am I just being cheap.
Am I borrowing a book from the library because "I paid taxes" or is it really just a free way to read a book. And MAYBE....since you like Mary McBook Writer's stories that you buy your own copy to help keep Mary in the business of writing books. Or perhaps you think Alan Indie Author writing in his spare time is worthy of your purchase so that he can leave his day job and write full time.
Some of you seem to get this. When it comes to "not buying a book from the Big 5 because you don't like xyz business practice"....that's the SAME THING. It's understanding that you are not just reading, you are voting with your wallet.
Vote with your MONEY....support your authors.
