My question pertains more to darkweb than your specific charges. I'm a writer and I find the darkweb intriguing. I've done a lot of research and I'm curious about your opinion. Do you think this portion of the internet is capable of ultimately be used to positive purposes. Examples would be anonymity in cases such as whistleblowing etc. I find that the general view by the uninformed public is that the darkweb is solely evil. Its portrayal from news outlets of course does nothing to belay this fear. I think this is an area that is highly underutilized and could be used to immense advantage. Do you believe that there is a greater potential for this space to be used in positive ways or do you feel that its can only be used for criminal enterprises? Also, really pleased to see your sentence. A lot of times courts don't understand these types of internet transactions and in that misunderstanding go way overboard.

Yes! This is exactly my point when I try to explain it to others. People that will do "bad" things, whatever your idea of bad is, will do them regardless. Plus, when you really get into it, some of the people doing bad things also do good things. I have a rather varied view of blackhat hacking, I mean, yes of course this ability can be used against you, but sometimes it is also used for what I consider good. That said, gonna be in London Nov 5th?

"if you realize you need your book often and we'll refund you any money spent on daily rentals). " - Ok you completely win me over with this one. This is genius. As you two had mentioned on the show there are ALWAYS those books you buy and then later throw your hands in the air wondering why you just wasted $60.00, and then there are those that you use constantly. Having this option to purchase a couple of uses and then decide you need it more and get refunded is fantastic.

I'm curious if you have noticed a difference between community college book prices vs. university pricing. Around the time I was 23 I attended community college and now at 31 I attend a university. My finding has thus far been that, whilst community college courses were MUCH cheaper the books themselves were more expensive. Granted I pay hundreds more per credit now but the books are cheaper. I shop online so generally avoid some of the overpricing but I'm curious if you have found the same to be true or if there's been any study into it at all.

HAHAHAHA you killed me when you offered less! Glad you guys were able to get someone to buy into your company. As an..um... returning university student, my comment on your book plan was this(it was a whole freakin' discussion at my house): The only books I have that are truly 150 bucks are things like math and science books, these books, I would use far too often to pay $5.00 a use. As an English Major most of my books are in the form of Shakespeare or Screenwriting and these rarely cost me more than $15.00. I think you have a great plan but I can see a lot of cases where it wouldn't actually turn out beneficial for the student to use your services. I truly hand it to you though, gotta love people trying to make their own way, I hope you guys make millions :)

Mr. Follett, I am always intrigued to hear what popular authors have to suggest for those trying to break into the writing business. Could you offer a couple of tips or suggestions?
