 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.
