    Imagine giving away newspapers, but some articles are covered by a flimsy piece of paper saying you need to pay before you can rip it off.

    Who would honestly pay to read?

      You serious ?..so, how does a books author get paid ? Fiction or non fiction. A journalist or photographer ? They should just do the work unpaid ? that’s real people using real time…

      Seriously…whatever you read…someone created that…and you dont think they should be compensated…or just not by you ?

        I pay for a book.

        If they’re giving the book away for free, they shouldn’t be angry that I tear out the ads first.
