And on top of that you have to sell them cheap and also to give some for free. It just doesn’t work. If it did work, you would see lots of authors living from e-books and music sold on their own websites. What you can have, of course, is amateurs: people with some other day job that then are able to make say 100 dollars per month. Do you want all authors to be amateurs?

Half my library is from authors who were "amateurs" when they wrote the books in my library.
