I'm on 35 sides on every issue. I can't even take a firm stance on the Amazon Controversy.<br /><br />I know at one time Poisoned Pen thought send ebooks to NetGalley was a great idea. I wonder what they think now?Charlotte Hingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03044024871533181178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30210943.post-87036007227801648552015-04-06T10:46:45.223-04:002015-04-06T10:46:45.223-04:00Eileen--You're right.

My husband, the movie reviewer, gets "screeners" watermarked with his name so if they get in the wrong hands, the culprit is easily identified. Would that we could do something to protect books.
