It's a problem that can not be changed any more, I believe. For some though it's a way to get writing spread around that would never been known. Because my first book never sold, my publisher took it out and ended my contract. I am putting it up now every where I can so it will at least go into the world. Better than when it stays only on my bookshelf.

Hi André,
This is OK if you don’t intend to make money out of your work(s), … or if you already have made enough and don’t care a hoot!
Cheers,
Robert
