Wait...so your two options are buy from Amazon or pirate? Amazon is basically the worst corporation on the face of the earth. Supporting a small publisher -- especially a small publisher willing to publish Julian Assange, books about Bradley Manning, and books about Wikileaks, is basically a decent thing to do.
- chj 14y agopayment is very inconvenient. That's why a free payment system (without state control) should be given the top priority.
- rdl 14y agoYeah, it's not so much a moral argument as that I'm willing to pay ~10 seconds and up to $20 (and ideally, $10) for a book.
- rdl 14y agoActually I poked around the site more; it's not as bad as I thought (it takes normal credit cards, although authorize.net is kind of a pain). And the non-DRM ebooks are fairly acceptable. I'd still strongly prefer Amazon, but wouldn't pirate out of spite.
- ahelwer 14y agoWhy do you say Amazon the worst corporation on the face of the earth? I can honestly think of nothing that would justify that statement.
