look, you can buy ebooks for $25.99 for all I care. this is how and where grass roots movements start. it's been an issue for awhile. if you are complacent and have deep pockets, flush your money away. if you think it's a concern, then try to be part of the solution

no. personally, I'll buy from anywhere I can get readable material on my Kindle. thus far between the Amazon, Smashwords, here, Baen and the darknet, I've pretty much been able to satisfy my immediate reading needs. but I've gotten the impression that much of the ebook reading public is tired of being farked with and wants to have their voice heard
