Am I the only one bothered by the fact the software is free, but the e-books are not? They're both merely an arrangement of bits in files, duplicated at a near-zero cost. But one of these (the free one) has usually gone through many man-years of development while the other (the one that costs money) is the result of a few man-weeks or months of effort. Oh, wait, I just learned that the the non-free quickie version of bits is now available at 50% off. Never mind.
