Good answer. I am always slightly bothered when someone puts in weeks of hard work on a product and it then gets transmitted free over the internet.
(And good luck with your latest book, streetfighter. I ordered a copy and hope to soon get it in the mail.)
i understand your point - and you're right about it.
i do not feel offended at all - don't worry.
my intentions were not to ruins out matthew saddler as much as he probably is.I wanted to share a masterpiece that could help a lot of kids to improve greatly in chess, this book is simply awesome.Around here, from my personal experience - chess book are a pain to get - i'm not icelandic native and do not understand the language at all - actualy, i am french - but i've learn english as my second language - if i want english or french books i got to ship em, and it costs 25$ additional fee of shipping to get a 15$ book.
i know you're a writer, and i understand how my proposal may have affect you.I'm sorry about this - but i only want to help people that have not the luck, or the fortune to get good books(especially for kids) written in language they understand.
Again - i'm sorry about this - my intentions were not to be a total prick that ruins people's life.

since i got your attention - can you enlight me on how it works ?if you put your book's pdf on amazon for 10$ - do you get every pennies of it ?
i'm aware the 25$ shipping is additional money i pay if i want the real thing, do you get any of that 25$? - and if i would decide to only get the pdf - does the host keeps a cut of the money ?
Thanks for your answers
that is very inspirational Andy - i'm glad you made it all by yourself - that is a great exemple of 'when you really want, you really can'
and that also makes me understand how hard it is to successfully publish a book trought internet - i've learn a lot from that post
Thanks for your time to type out that complete answer - much apprecieted
ha ! I'm actualy working in a restaurant as a busboy - and i'm trying to keep up with my appartment and visa... i never have money for myself, luckily, my interests are not expensive (Chess and Photography)
See you around !
