.... Maybe instead of attacking the people who are running PG, you could spend your efforts in a parallel project such as what manybooks has done, or just find some other passion to pour yourself into.
I think that some of us have done that. I have created several books personally for PG. I have submitted several to DP. I answer volunteer questions on many websites about how to "fix" PG books to make them work on your choice of machine. I tell people where they can get copies of PG books already "fixed" for their machines. I provided 25,000 translations of PG books in MOBI format over the course of two years work before PG finally decided to start supporting the format directly, etc. I just think it's silly that I and others have to put so much time and effort into "routing around damage" when it would be so much less time and effort for PG to wake up, get on the ball, and bring their site and organization up to date instead of living in the past. What I want is something very simple: books which IN PRACTICE people can read -- the same way they open the cover of a paperback novel and start reading. I know it can be done because I do it every day. But is PG doing it IN PRACTICE? Nope. And I think that is sad.
