Now there is a new concept -- authors have bills to pay! Do they actually eat and drink like regular people? And let me propose another radical new idea. Those that download their books actually pay something to help the authors instead of just thinking of saving themselves a few bucks?

I know it sounds crazy, just a silly idea. After all, the author probably just wrote it on a wordprocessor and all he or she did was create a series of 0s and 1s. How can that be worth anything?
