Corey: I really wanted to kiss up here because I am so impressed with your intellect and your positions on creativity and sharing.
Then I thought - screw that, let me just say I'm a fan of your literature, your work in the physical space, and your position on the miracle of parenting -
You rock!

I really enjoy your books, and listen to or read them all. You've got cool ideas, & Creative Commons is the future! Thanks for letting the more skint 3/4 of the world (or more, I don't have the stats!) have access. I live in France, but luckily speak English (I am Eng. actually), & I'd really like to translate some of your works into Fr, if it doesn't break any rules. Here there's not a lot of Creative Commons books (or none?), even though the musics OK, like site: Dogmazics, En & Fr 'ziks, great! Thanks, Cory, & for BB, too!

Dear Cory,
although this is late but I just found your book on-line and downloaded it is very relieving, for people like you are helping us find the desire of our minds and hearts without having to wait the smell of old books to eat us then find novels that have been there for ages.
Sincerely yours.

Hi! I have bought copies of Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. I mean a real paper-type book. Nice to see we can download it and other books online.

I bought the book, because I heard about it somewhere. (Honestly, I dont remember where, but to say the least, it was a good reccomendation.)Now I'm here just seeing what this little site is about, and I think it's an awesome concept. Although, I'm beginning to think.. why do I have all these books lying around, if I've already read them?

I think you're doing a great thing by offering your book for free online. I disagree with your ideas that eventually real books will be displaced by some form of electronic storage and viewing - books are different to music and video, and I simply don't believe real books will EVER be replaced by electronic ones. You can already store thousands of books on a DVD, but reading them on a screen, even a portable one, is just not the same as having a real book, putting a bookmark in, putting post it notes in, reading it in the bath, while you're brushing your teeth, etc. I do believe that electronic publishing will carry on increasing, but only in conjuction with the publication of real versions of those books. If I really like a book, I'll want a real version of it (which is good news for you authors!). I particularly admire your attitude towards the developing world - a great policy.
