Dear AnemicOak:
The idea of becoming a member on an eBook Store like
www.EZread.com is to get more eBooks up for the members. Membership is free and does not cause anyone duress.
Here is WHY we want you to become a member:
Publishers want to know the site has a decent amount of users. They can refuse a site to carry their titles if it does not have a good proven base.
Independent Publishers and Authors also ask the question: "will it give me good exposure?". Number of members is a good indicator for them.
It is not easy putting a good eBook Store together. We are losing money right now but dedicated to improving it. IF you become a FREE Member you will note that our prices are really low all the time. In return we ask you to become a member so we can get up more titles. I do not see this as a trap. Also, it lets us keep some track of who goes there and what they like to buy. We do not sell that info... it is used to get up more titles in your favorite genre.
I think you may be reading more into this "Member" thing than necessary. Yes, it does help us... but it also helps us to help you!
