LATEST NEWS ON EBOOKAD
TO ALL READERS, AUTHORS, AND PUBLISHERS:

UNFORTUNATELY EBOOKAD HAS DECIDED TO ENGAGE IN CENSORSHIP ON THEIR SITE. IF YOU WANT TO POST AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON THEIR PAGE, FORGET IT. FOR SOME ODD REASON THEY HAVE REMOVED THE RIGHT TO DO THAT. APPARENTLY EBOOKAD IS AFRAID OF SOMETHING, MAYBE THEY JUST DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW THE FACTS. HERE THEY ARE!

THIS IS COMPLETELY WITHOUT PREJUDICE:

MY PUBLISHER, AN UPRIGHT AND HONABLE ENTERPRISE, HAS HAD SOME PROBLEMS GETTING PAID BY EBOOKAD RECENTLY. THAT MEANS THAT HARD WORKING, AND USUALLY, POOR AUTHORS HAVE TO WAIT TO GET PAID AS WELL. THAT'S NOT FAIR, IS IT?

EBOOKAD APPARENTLY DOESN'T CARE TO RESPOND TO ENQUIRIES ABOUT THE MONEY OWED TO MY PUBLISHER. NO LONGER WILLING TO PUT BOOKS ON A SITE WHERE NO PAYMENT WAS FORTHCOMING, AND NOT HEARING ANYTHING FROM EBOOKAD AS TO WHY PAYMENT WAS NOT FORTHCOMING, EXTASY DECIDED TO TERMINATE THEIR AGREEMENT WITH EBOOKAD. NOW, EVERYTHING IS GONE. EBOOKAD HAS DISREGARDED THIER AGREEMENT WITH MY PUBLISHER AND WIPED OUT THE SITE, SHOPPING CART AND ALL. THAT MEANS A LOSS OF REVENUE FOR MY PUBLISHER. THAT MEANS A LOSS OF REVENUE FOR THE AUTHORS. IT ALSO MEANS THAT READERS CAN'T GET THEIR BOOKS. THAT'S NOT FAIR.

IF YOU AGREE THAT'S NOT FAIR, AND YOU ARE A READER OF MY BOOKS, OR ANY OF THE WONDERFUL BOOKS AT EXTASY, THEN COMPLAIN, AND COMPLAIN LOUD. IF YOU ARE A PUBLISHER OR AN AUTHOR, THEN COMPLAIN LOUD TOO. ASK EBOOKAD WHY THEY DON'T RESPOND TO PEOPLE THEY OWE MONEY TO. ASK THEM WHY THEY HAVE DISCONTINUED THEIR ANNOUNCEMENT SITE. I BELIEVE THEY DID THAT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T LIKE WHAT WAS BEING WRITTEN THERE!

EXTASYBOOKS WILL NO LONGER DEAL WITH EBOOKAD. IN TWO WEEKS, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PURCHASE BOOKS DIRECTLY FROM THIS GREAT, HONEST AND UPFRONT PUBLISHER, WHO WILL ALWAYS TREAT YOU WITH RESPECT, AND PAY THIER DUES. EBOOKAD MIGHT TAKE A LESSON FROM THAT. THEY HAVE LOST ONE OF THEIR MOST LUCRATIVE CLIENTS.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COPY AND PASTE THIS. POST IT ANYWHERE, THE MORE PLACES, THE BETTER. THANK YOU EVERYONE.
