t's usually the electronic copy of a book, a lot of them are like share ware, u can view them for a week, then after that you have to get the credit card out.

i had one about dvd copying last year, you couldnt copy the text out of it, and after a week it locked itself, demanding $9.99 to open itself up again.

ah right cos tis gy on ebay was selling an ebook saying he would send it via the winners e-mail address, but he was charging postage! thats what got me confused!

Cheers

S'just an electronic book. Plus side is there's loads of em on the P2P networks (I used to have a whole library of em), lots of whicharen't breaking copyright cos they're classics & copyright on literature expires. Good place to look for out of copyright stuff is Project Gutenberg. Minus side of em is I defy anyone to actually enjoy reading anything off a monitor Only one I've ever read and enjoyed like a paper book was Richard Matheson's I Am Legend, cos it's short enough to finishbefore the blinding headache starts, and it's afecking good novella, best vampire story since Dracula (and possibly better even than that, I've just got a soft spot for Dracula). Course if you've got a printer and cheap paper & ink then that's not anissue (but with older books, once you've paid for the paper & ink to print themoff, you may as wellhave gone round the charity shops)


Apologies for the random spacing, I tolchocked my space bar last night for pissing about,and I think Ihurt it
