On the other hand, if you could come up with one item that you could sell and make only $1 profit on, and sell that product to a million people... well, you get the jest of what I'm saying. |

The rest will be so filled with fear of malware, they will scurrying into the sowers to hide behind the rats. Good luck though - I wish you nothing but success. |

LOTS of books, classics, are off of copywrite, so are in the public domain and could legally be sold in such a way. I would buy a flash drive with that many books on it for sure since there would be dozens on it that I have always wanted to read!! GREAT IDEA ... you need to DO IT before someone else jumps in!! (pricing at $49.99 + S&H would be a great price) |
