I've seen dozens and dozens of ebooks and some truly are a gem, but I've only availed of free downloadable ebooks. Many say that selling ebooks is a great way to earn online. If so, do you buy any?

I also have seen lots of ppl saying that selling ebooks is the way to earn money on the net. However most of these "expensive" ebooks are just reports with links to websites of theirs...so now im really skeptical about all this ebooks stuff. Besides...join surefirewealth.com. It has lots of free ebooks. And nope...i never ever bought an ebook before. Xp

In fact I don't understand why do people buy Ebooks online. Since the Ebooks are something they sell electronically, they must have got it electornically somewhere online, from some websites and trying to sell it for earnings ( for their own goods). I myself do collect lots of Ebooks regarding different areas (as a hobby), but I do not find selling it as a good way to earn as I feel like being illegal if I do so, as in I sell the intelligent properties of someone, assuming it as my own thing and sell it to someone else, I just can't and don't want to do it.

I have bought a few ebooks, and I have also downloaded several that were a available for free. Since I still prefer print books over ebooks, I haven't bought many novels or other books I'd read for leisure. They are usually software manuals or career reference ebooks.

I've paid for some and there are just links to other things. They are a book (well normally a "mini-book" as none of them are over 50 pages or so. Have I been dissappointed with some yes but the ones I've been disappointed with I haven't paid full price for so at least that's a plus.

I love ebooks! I have used my little palm handheld for five years now and download the books from sites like Mobipocket etc. to read on it (with a little light at night). It is easy to carry unlike pocketbooks, and when I travel in the car at night or am on a camping trip I can read the books in the dark. I would love to know about selling ebooks online...there are still not enough of the old bestsellers on there and some authors like J.K. Rowling for example, will not give permission for her books to be ebooks.
