*"Much as you have stated in your letter (Prime Palaver #6), I find myself taking books for a test drive via the Free Library or Webscriptions<http://www.webscription.net/>. I will often just read the first couple of chapters and see if the book grabs me. If it does, then I go out and buy the printed book. I buy the printed book because I like to be able to read in various locations as opposed to sitting in front of the computer and hitting the page down key."* He doesn't say the book should not be printed. He says the book should be printed if it is interesting to the reader enough to read it elsewhere. Are you worried about the bussiness model? Have you ever gone to a supermarket and gotten a free treat? Did you tend to buy the product later? That's the bussiness model of gratis products. -- Saludos/Greetings Quiliro Ordóñez 593(02)340 1517 / 593(09)821 8696 http://quiliro.wordpress.com Artículos recientes: - Por que aceptar derechos de autor y patentes si no tenemos ninguna?
