Do we still need to pay for eBooks?
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

any ebook under $100 is going to be dribble anyways. I say get the info you need from free ebooks/websites, then when there is a topic you want some 'quality' information, head to your bookstore.
Edit: I would pay $200 for a ebook that guarantees to stop all the freakn spam I keep getting in my inbox for these 'enlargement drugs', makes me wana scream some days it honestly does.

I wouldn't say so unless it has some really useful information, as most can be found on the internet if the search query is right.

Maybe if the ebook is about something new, but other than that there are lots of free ebooks out there.

If you are referring to the "get rich quick"-type ebooks then you are correct, they are definitely not worth it.
Keep in mind, however that not everything can be found on the "WWW" in terms of useful information. Think about it: when someone finds a certain system which works, what do they do: post it so that it gets abused or use it themselves?

In most cases no.
You can easily find the majority of information you need through search engines, visiting forums, etc.
In some instances, purchasing an ebook is a great time saver. What's your time worth to research, find information and organize it so that it makes sense to you?
If I can find information for say $20 - $50 that saves me the research and guess work -- of course I'll buy it.
Also, I don't agree that ebooks under $100 are dribble. I've recently purchased information between $12 - $27 that was incredibly insightful.

The vast majority, yes. But there are certain "words of wisdom" which people are not exactly keen on making public

Agreed, that certain 'words of wisdom' aren't readily available.

Maybe you should buy one from them and then they will stop sending you those email spams.  Just kidding mate!
The internet is a humongous information database in which almost all subjects that you can think of could be found here. But its not everything because I said almost. If you wanted intensive learning then you gotta buy an eBook where a guide on your specialization is written.

Well coming from someone who is an informational junkie. My experiences are if you would like to resell them or distribute them, then pretty much you can find them all over. But it really isn't the books that you are paying for. What you are paying for is what the books provide to you. If you feel that the book, content and graphics are worth some sort of monetary value in place of your time to search for the exact same thing, then don't you think that it is worth spending the little bit of money for the book?
Don't get me wrong, You would be foolish to pay $47.00 for something that just tells you that you need to pay more to get the more indepth version. Now a days the books are not doing that. They are being used more solely for advertisement and list building resources. For example [link removed]. I do not just list books, but I also list softwares, graphics and much more all in the field of digital downloads.
If you would like to know more about digital QUALITY information just private message me via v7n.
Sincerely,
Jason Conway
