With paper printed books, you have certain freedoms. You can acquire the book anonymously by paying cash, which is the way I always buy books. I never use a credit card. I dont identify to any database when I buy books. Amazon takes away that freedom. – Richard Stallman

In the free/libre software movement, we develop software that respects users freedom, so we and you can escape from software that doesnt. – Richard Stallman

If ebooks mean that readers freedom must either increase or decrease, we must demand the increase. – Richard Stallman
