Zooty and Flappers giving away free reading for feed back. Program started Dec 2007. Random House is the first big publisher to start this program. The best thing in 30 years. Domenic Pappalardo www.zootyandflappers.com
wow. that's such a good deal $2.99 for a whole chapter of a book. all this time, i've been reduced to buying entire books at the 2nd hand shop for 50cents each. because the electronic copies of books are so much more expensive to produce and distribute than paper copies, i'm surprised that they can afford to sell them for only $2.99/chapter. at that rate, you can pick up a thirty chapter book for only around $89.70. i hope big publishing doesn't put itself out of business due to its charity.
about the only better deal out there is project gutenberg which has just about every book worth reading (for free) or (for nonfiction) wikipedia which has current information (for free)

'Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die'
hmmm...maybe, it's because some ideas are freely available (like zip, javascript, .pdf, etc) whereas others have someone charging $2.99 for them.
