I sent an email to his publisher. I explained that now that I have an eReader (which is not a Kindle, but the less expensive EBW1150) that I am reading more books than ever before - and I loved to read before my eReader!

I also let them know that previously, ALL of my reading material came either from the library, or was purchased USED from Amazon, eBay, Goodwill.... Now I actually pay $ to an ebook store which means both the publisher and author are making money from my reading choices. Neither the publisher nor the author benefited in any way when I purchased used books.
