haha, okay, that was awesome.
Welcome, new guy!
I was gone most of the weekend and I just spent ten minutes petting my cat - after he forgave me for being gone. He purred and purred and then he curled into a ball and heaved the most heart-felt heavy sigh ever.
That's an interesting point.
Thank you! Most people in this thread have approved the worst trolls just so they could fight with them. Thanks for approving one of the (few) good ones!
Before you approve a comment, please make sure it adds something of value to the conversation. This one absolutely doesn't.
If you see a pink comment by an obvious troll, don't approve it just so you can respond. Just leave them pink and report them via #trollpatrol so we can find it and get rid of it. The absolute last thing you should do is let it out into the wild.
"Yesterday night" is something that a lot of my Indian colleagues from a certain region tend to say. I know it's just an imperfect grasp of some odd English rule, but I always think of it as time travel lag every time I see it.
I'll concede that.
No, the strategy of selling a physical book and deliberately NOT selling an ebook, when it is common practice to sell it in both formats, these days.
I can find no flaw in this argument.
Related tangent: Apparently, a lot of libraries will lend you ebooks these days. I keep saying I am going to look into it and I keep forgetting. I've always been more of a buy vs. borrow gal anyway.
Now that is true. I'm usually one who will strap on the ol' eyepatch if something I truly want is deliberately made unavailable. In this case, though, the pirated copy is going to be crappily scanned stuff, so I wouldn't bother. Maybe I figure everyone is as snooty as me? ;)
That could very well be. But that was something to try five years ago, not today. Considering that ebooks outsell physical books on Amazon - and Amazon is the biggest book seller - that ship has sailed, imo. That strategy would just alienate people now, I would think.
Is this copyright trolling or legitimately not understanding the process of how it could be obtained in an unauthorized digital format?
Well, I don't really think there's much point to be made here. It's the equivalent of putting out a tape because you don't like CDs. If you feel like it's a more 'true' medium, go on with your bad self, I guess.
Well, given the source, I'm not surprised and I don't mind it at all. I mean, King is practically the, well, king of nostalgia.
Hmm, possibly. I think it will just retard sales. At this point, a lot of people have an ereader but also still buy physical books. Very few have gone militantly e-reader only like I have. Those King fans who still buy physical books will buy it. People like me who don't buy physical books no matter who writes…
haha, I love that.
