Ebooks Ban

[moonwitch]

Hence the question was asked

As I said. People here who know me well will know the answer (unless I forgot anyone)

BTW....those were the script writer's words. not some fictional deer and this was a real person

Were you aware that one of the major reasons that Disney is so protective of their copyrighted material is that Walt's first creation was actually stolen because he failed to secure the proper copyright protection for it? It was a hard lesson that Walt learned well. It is one that every author or creative person needs to keep in mind, especially in today's digital environment.

There are Kobo readers for sale on here, so surely it would make sense to allow the ebooks?

What you forget is there are thousands of members here that don't know you well. Not all members have medical issues and I expect many of those members read the forums without contribution. I couldn't understand the reasoning behind your thread so hence my question. HM actually answered.

To get the Bambi quote into perspective.

Thumper: He doesn't walk very good, does he? Thumper asked a question. Children and adults alike ask questions.

Mrs. Rabbit: Thumper!

Thumper: Yes, mama?

Mrs. Rabbit: What did your father tell you this morning?

Thumper: If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all. His father replied without answering the question and just told Thumper off without giving time to his son and answering the question or explaining why, "he doesn't walk very good does he?".

What you are saying is that neither children or adults should ask questions.

You asked me why I couldn't read books in hard copy and HM gave you an example of why some people might not be able to read books in hard copy.



"What you are saying is that neither children or adults should ask questions"

No I am not....I chose not to answer your very personal question as this is a forum that can be viewed by people who are not logged in and I don't feel I need to make my health issues public knowledge.

I had already posted here saying that I had medical reasons for preferring ebooks and audio books of hard copies

I posted the quote from Bambi, not Moonwitch. Your questioning of her in post #3 was very rude and quite honestly, none of your business. She had already explained it was "due to health issues" and that should have been enough explanation for you. I have no problem with children or adults asking questions, as long as they do so in a polite, respectful manner without intruding into one's privacy.

Children's stories and fairytales were often written to teach them morals, values and good manners. So, in the politest and most respectful manner I could think of, I was trying to tell you that when you post in these forums it would be nice if you were not so rude and disrespectful - not just to Moonwitch but to myself and others who often receive those types of comments from you. Perhaps you don't even realize how you "come across" to people but now that you do, I hope you will be considerate of other people's feelings when you post in the future.

The question was not 'very personal'. I couldn't understand it because I didn't know the reasoning behind it but, as I said, HM gave me an example so as far as I'm concerned end of story. If you want to carry on this discussion then you will be talking to yourself.

At least I have given you something to consider in your psychology course.

I know you did.
End of discussion.

Getting back to the original question. I think that the major reason for not permitting eBooks to be sold on eBid is the lack of any tangible item being delivered. Followed by the easy of which copyright infringement would be possible.

[moonwitch]

I would use the ignore option but I find even the most obnoxious posters entertaining ...lol

Back to the point....the ebooks I buy are downloaded directly too my cloud reader so maybe that is what is making it impractical for eBid to allow the ebooks here.

Also...when I buy from 'the river' the downloads come from them
