       RS>>>>> NewsMax is notorious for buying up Ann Coulter's books, and        BK>>> giving them RS>> away or at a very low price to those who buy thier        BK>>> "premium service."               EH>>>> That's a lie.               BK>>> Is it? Newsmax is giving the book away as a premium.               RS>> There's nothing wrong, per se, with these gieaways.               EH> If it's a give away, the book has been paid for.               That's what he said.               ...               RS>>>>> Besides hard-cover and paperback nowadays, e-book sales are a        BK>>> growing RS>> market.               EH>>>> Tell me about it, I have over 100 books now on my Kindle.               BK>>> I have over 11,000 on a DVD, readable on pretty much any        BK>>> computer made. It's called ASCII text.               RS>> Some ebook readers can use ASCII, mine can read Adobe format text.        RS>> (Reading "War Of The Worlds" on it now.)               ...               EH> The idiot Klahn, seems to think his 11,000 ASCII ebooks on        EH> a DVD is somehow impressive. Anyone with a computer and        EH> internet access has access to several hundred thousand        EH> ebooks. Copying several to a DVD doesn't impress me one bit.               It's called project Gutenberg, and they were doing this long        before Amazon or any of the others had heard of e-books.               And EH seems to think a hundred books on his reader is impressive.               Oh, the that 11,000 books were free. That's what Project        Gutenberg is all about.                                          BOB KLAHN bob.klahn@sev.org http://home.toltbbs.com/bobklahn              --- Via Silver Xpress V4.5/P [Reg]        * Origin: Doc's Place BBS Fido Since 1991 docsplace.tzo.com (1:123/140)    |
