Got this email fromMichael Solomon and I thought it was worth sharing:
I am a self-publishing author who, three years ago, began offering (on my Web site and also onmininova.com, a bit-torrent site) free downloads of my books. I had decided that my main goal in writing was not sales, but readers. (I have a day-job.)
Since then, I’ve had more than a quarter-million downloads. So thanks to e-books, I have acquired a readership.
As TeleRead has reported, it’s a new world in publishing!

I am at a complete loss for words.
Illustrating that torrent site’s download data is nothing but a pirate’s fantasy.
