@Gerry McGovern I wanted to grab your book World Wide Waste and I see gerrymcgovern.com/books/world-… - isn't that a digital waste to create paywalls and lock features for digital content that should be easily accessible to everyone without creating a lot of duplicated copies that require a lot of energy and transactions to distribute?

What do you think about that?

I write books and I make them all available for free here tromsite.com/books/

Buy the book

Buy E-book version: $8 at Lulu Buy Print version: $20

By selling a digital book thats already free you are using payments systems and paywalls that require energy and hardware to run. I do understant that you have to survive tho, but I find this practice ironic.

I find it incredibly sad that people like @gerrymcgovern are forced to do these things just so they can survive, you know the world is fucked up when your survival depends on creating waste - digital or otherwise, this is true for almost every product in the market.

True. Is just terribly ironic, almost like writing books about why deforestation is bad and selling them on amazon as hard copies....
