Thanks :) Much better than "Print to PDF" option

  Which is infinitely better than me accidentally sending it to my home printer...

Or, better yet, thank the author himself by downloading it straight from his own website : https://first100.yobenlee.com/ https://first100.yobenlee.com/

  That's a nice looking sales page.

  Why do I need to give my name and email so I can be added to a mailing list before I can even see the content? Obviously this isn't a problem because the submission has the content, as does the other commenter's direct link, but I just hate this sort of UX. Let me see the value of your content (not a sales page) and if I really like it I'll subscribe to a mailing list after.

    Why does the author have to write a book just to get your E-Mail? It's a transaction. Obviously as the consumer you would prefer having the upside without the downside. The same is true for the vendor. We usually meet somewhere in the middle and call it a day.

      Because my email is free of spam right now and I'd prefer to keep it that way, especially without a promise my email is not going to get sold around in a mailing list. I also shouldn't have to research around to see if a website author is the "type" to sell my email around, that's bad UX.

        In that case, you shouldn't expect this information for free. If you want free stuff, you should be okay being advertised to.

        Sure but there's no way to offer any actual money in exchange.

        If the author didn't earn your trust prior to the exchange you won't convert to become his 100th customer and their content upgrade lost a potential customer. And if that's the case you're better off reading You've Got 8 Seconds.

        You're right. IMO, there should be a "Download with your email OR pay $1 to access this file" option.

        Offering a PDF/Ebook with good content (one hopes) in exchange for joining an email list is Lead Generation 101. The book is a runup to a paid course he is offering. "Pay $1 to access this file" OR Sign up for email sends confusing signals to users. To the author, book is not worth $1, it is worth one email list signup. To the user, the book's value is entirely relative. They can offer up their email (positive value perception), or they can leave the site (zero value perception).

    I just put a fake email@example.com, and It happily gives out the download ! Wait a min, keep this trick private :P

    Just use a temporary email and call it a day.

    You have source to the google docs. If you want a pdf of the same book, what's the problem in giving your email? I scratch your back, you scratch my back.
