When I first got the Kindle, it felt good knowing that when I purchased a book, I was supporting the authors. Whereas when I am reading talkingbooks, I am not contributing anything back to the people who wrote them. I'm not condemning anyone for reading talkingbooks, I'm just making a statement about how I felt when I finally could contribute myself like anyone else who buys books.
