“Not offering an eBook edition of any book as a means to prevent piracy is a self-defeating approach. That’s like declaring, ‘I refuse to sell $100 jeans to teenagers at the mall, because some of them will shoplift the jeans and I’ll lose those profits.'” – Every Book is an eBook Waiting to Happen, in Catherine Hodge‘s DPP Store blog.
Exactly what I always say…
Piracy will force ebooks to appear…the longer it takes, the more people wil start using pirated ebooks and will get usd to it and continue doing it.
The dark future of print media is visible to me with every book wishing to be an e-book.
