"Paul Burns he's a damned crook who provided the links while your on
swinging your moral axe Jonathan?"

Huh .. Me...?

Hmm, "grabbing" books from Amazon and married to an author you say sort of
to legitimize your moral/ethic flag waving into valid arguments! Well, there
is a lot about Amazon:

24usd really?So you basically support Amazon stealing by them dumping prices
pushing other small publishers out of business! Do your wife know this?
Guess what my local chain of book stores wanted 47eur!..

The smaller the niche you write for the less you get paid. Publishers want
"hits"
just as record companies does! Not everyone do or can do rows of Harry
Potters!

Besides depends on the deals the author does with the publisher and what
kind of publisher it is ,most likely this particular book is paid by the
manuscript "once"
and sales don't affect the author in anyway.

It isn't a secret that Amazon's financial success is partly based on its
ability to take in money for selling merchandise before it has to pay its
suppliers.
Nice business practise?

So its silly you try to make a moral/ethical normative point about a ironic
stealing joke here, reasons are many, one is not to long ago some users
suggested download pirated material from now by FBI closed file share net! I
didn't see you complain then? So much for authors benefits...hohumm! Dont
forget to tell your wife about it!

Snazelle couldn't even afford this old dusty book, you better tell him he's
a thief and Paul Burns he's a damned crook who provided the links while your
on swinging your moral axe Jonathan?

You really have to morally axe him down to now! Haha!

I once bought Barrys book, in retrospect i should have stolen it because its
now full of obsolete IC's! Whahaha! :)  What a fraud!
