I intend to get mine free from the authors themselves.

"stealing people's property," says someone called "Loony Left."

Is that name intended to be sarcastic? Presumably so, in that opposing any particular notion of "property," however absurd, will these days get one branded a Leftist. I would direct modern conservatives to the writings of the founders on this issue, but why bother? These writings are all in the public domain now, which makes the automatically Socialist.

When e-books cost more than paperbacks, even after shipping, I stop buying e-books. It's an outrage. Sorry, publishers, but you have fucked yourself over with this move. Kindle goes into the drawer, and iPad is stillborn (as an e-reader; the broader implication of this move is that books of any type cease to matter in culture. Enjoy your porn.)
