Comment: Romantic America.
Romantic America,
when a rosaceous
sunset lightens
the world near a
frail little brook,
and where everything
shines like a
diamond in the
heart of a forest ;
the north wind
is blowing, the light
of a fine day
invents an emotion,
and I love you
America....
Francesco Sinibaldi
Comment: I have negotiated the right to publish 50% of my forthcoming book online in non-printable PDF at
http://www.sanjeev.sabhlokcity.com/br.html. I believe this amounts to the same thing as browsing through the book in a bookshop. Given its online presence, I am also able to run a few google ads for the book. This combination seems to be a valuable way to introduce potential readers to the book. Sanjeev Sabhlok
Comment: Part 2. DRM is used by many as a way of protecting digital rights.But since hackers can apply patches and codes.The big question is wouldn't an author be living on tender hooks,Knowing that anytime a hacker could wipe out the complete back catalogue of so called protected works.I would really like to now weather in amazons contacts it states that it would give compensations if its DRM server was hacked and authors lost all there works.
Comment: As an author who retained all her electronic rights, I urge authors not to sell theirs - ever! I salute Coelho for
his gutsy move, but I was not obliged to pirate my books. I sell them on my web site as e-books. http://www.suzannewhite.com. These sales don't make me rich. But my sales ranks on Amazon have doubled since I began selling online. Authors, never let go of an e-right - just say NO. Suzanne White
Comment: Hi suzanne.I just read your message,since we the only ones that have responded so far.Since I believe that e books can be copied,and up loaded to bit torrent sites.Wouldn't you say that your making a great loss.However,I'm just speaking openly here as I'm not sure weather there is any software protection on the market at the moment built into e-books to stop copying at present.....If there is i'd like the www address.
Comment: Fisrtly,I do think that paulo Coelho from a finacial perspective can afford to be more flexiable with his book promotions,in the respect of free downloading.What I propose however,taking into what Paulo Coelho believes,is to down load half the book as a taster.If a reader really gets into the book they will deffo go out and buy the book for the other half.
Thanks Julian lowe.

VIEWPOINT The vast majority of Americans are dissatisfied with the direction of the country. So who are the 10 percent who think everything is A-OK?
