[Books and Ethics]

They should never see the light of day if the person doesn't want them too! Some people can have very personnel reasons for not wanting to publish.... so their thoughts should always be adhered too!

[Amazon...what do you make of this?]

I think this is life these days! All companies do it to a greater or lesser extent! You have to think of the benefits too though! Like they allow writers to publish for free. They offer writers money for people looking at their books for a month etc etc! Plus, even though they pay no tax, their employees do, like those who work in their distribution wahrehouse in Doncaster for instance! So the picture is not always as clear cut as others put forwards!

[Hardback vs paperback]

I have to say I'm a kindle convert (or similar apps)! I thought i'd hate it.... but i love it! So much easier to carry around than books and people can't see what you're reading!!
