I implied nothing of the sort.
If other people enjoy doing that stuff, more power to them. Everyone has different hobbies. And I'm grateful that people enjoy doing it and making books available to us. I don't read that stuff much anyway. Never downloaded a book from here. And I've read one book from Feedbooks so far--I mainly stick with Amazon books as I'm not much into classics etc.
But in any case, I meant no insult to people who do edit their ebooks etc., and I'm not sure how I implied it.
I just said I won't do it as readings not my main hobby and I don't have the free time to waste on editing an e-book (work 70+ hours most weeks) when I could be using that time to actually read a book for leisure or spending on another hobby.
Not that there was anything wrong with people who do edit books and enjoy it. Saying I'd never do it isn't in anyway an insult to those who do!
