I've noticed recently that there are many ebooks published by Wikimedia Foundation.
Let's for example take a look at this onein particular at the section named "Etymology" (scroll down to the page #1). Please compare this section to
this section of Wikipedia article.
The article is free, the book is $2.51. Why?
To make up all the costs of printing the e-book...uh...never mind. It's just another money grab.
I don't understand why people contribute to something that sells your work for profit, without giving you any piece of it. It's bad enough it can be edited by any cretin, but selling it is even more insulting.
