schestowitzThe humble ebook bundle has collected a million dollars in voluntary payments in two weeks.Oct 26 12:54
schestowitzThis bundle avoids two of the three unethical aspects of most commercial ebooks: it has no Digital Restrictions Management, and it doesn't impose an EULA to restrict users more tightly than copyright law.Oct 26 12:54
schestowitzThe only problem remaining is that there is no way to pay anonymously. On principle, I won't buy a book in a way that identifies me to a data base. I asked them if they would please accept a money order, but was told it would be too difficult to handle those. Oct 26 12:54
