Hi,

I just wondering that if we really need to pay for eBooks. I don't want to be a cheapscake but you can find whatever information that we want for free. I mean we just have to write whatever we want on our search engine, and we can get more than 10 of the topics that we want. We can download it for free and learn from the free eBooks. We even have a master resale rights on the eBooks that we downloaded for free. And some of them we can edit and put our name as an author.

Why paying?

I don't know guys, it is just my opinion.

Thanks

Nizzura

It's a matter of quality. Most of the ebooks heavily promoted can be obtained for free for those who search for the file; but most of them aren't worth paying for anyway; they exist to con the unwary out of their cash.

On the other hand, some ebooks contain as much useful, valuable information as a printed work, and - sensibly - they cannot be so easily obtained.

Your argument is right for the $79.00 / 24 page "book" that simply duplicates what is readily available in 1000 web sites and forums, but does not apply to real books in electronic form.

Luckily, the number of people taken in by such books is tiny, and falling. Few sell in quantity, and many don't sell at all. And as 25,000 sad sites offer each one, that's very, very few sales per seller.

Maybe the issue is not 'why pay?' but 'why bother with even downloading them?'

Most e-books are ancient, badly-written, and total junk.

Many such sites are there to hook you into their upsell.
