>Only if you exclude their second paragraph.
No, including the second paragraph. The author never makes any money from resells or the used book market.
>They acknowledge the author only gets paid once, but that is better than zero.
But not as good as "every sale", which is what publishers want.
>The resale market is not the same as the piracy market.
According to other people crying about the money authors aren't making (ie, publishers), it totally is

Why? Because I pointed out your entire argument applies to the resell market? Ok, penguin & Schuster.

>Just a reminder that your average author is not wealthy, and if you enjoy a book series, pirating it can actually hurt an author’s chance at getting more work published if sales aren’t high enough.
Attacking the ability to resell products you own is some take.

>When was the last time YOU put up the 10s of thousands or even millions of dollars it costs to publish books???
Tens of thousands and millions are vastly different sums of money. And we are talking about ebooks so the price of publishing is vastly cheaper, especially if the cheap out on ebook features for digital works that don't already include them by default, which I can only imagine they do.
>I don’t know much about computers, what I do know is, if you’re sharing my book, cool, but don’t take advantage of me. Pay me for my work for those extra copies
Do.. Do you think the publishers created those books?
>why should a global archive that’s not even a real library
A library is a concept, not a building.

As someone who watched Congo, that was the correct assessment of his ability to do accents
Also, will someone explain to me what the hell the spoiler is in that section?

It's a musical horror comedy. Pretty clearly. It's just a bad movie

Wool is about the only thing I read when Kindle ebooks were free. It's a good story. Some people don't like the wrap up because it's a big switch loop back that explains how everything got where it was

It probably helps that page 2 of Wool is basically the hook of the story.

Reply to comment by wixkedwitxh in Looking for cheap or free books! by MinisterofSandwiches
Estate sales are definitely a good place for books because people are just tossing the whole library and books aren't particularly valuable used, so they are moving about as cheap as they can.
