The best situation
in your opinion.
Really, why should all books be made available for free or for a symbolic price? Someone has gone to the effort of writing that story so why should you not go to the effort of paying a reasonable price for it if you want to read it?
I'm all for libraries and if you want to wait in line until you can borrow a copy that is fine, but the idea that all books must be available for free to everyone is just plain selfish. The work you do you expect to be paid for don't you?
