I am quite happy to report that statement was incorrect! :way to go:

Perhaps a little too hasty in that assessment. There's been a couple of copyrighted works, but most of these titles are in the public domain, already available in other reader formats.

I don't know if it's fair to say that people who aren't comfortable with giving their Credit Card number away are whining over free stuff. Forgive me if that is a twisting of words. It is a legitimate concern when you consider all of the scams and identity theft going on out there. Court TV had a one hour "Holiday Safety" program about a week ago. That alone is enough to make you wary.

I have no doubts that this emerchant is highly trustworthy. However, producing a credit card number is not a task to be taken lightly in modern society.

I'm about to start lecturing restaurants. When I produce my checkcard to pay for a meal, I always lay it face down. This is so that the numbers can't be read. It's always brought back to me face up, and a lot of places, especially the Chinese buffets, have your entire number printed on the receipt. Sure, guys, let's make it challenging for someone to steal your number.
