[Publib] Advance[d] Reading Copies

[Karen Schneider]

Stepping in with a writer's point of view... keep in mind that ARCs, which
often haven't had their final edits, do not represent the writer at his or
her best; it's an ARC for a reason. They aren't intended to be sold, shared,
traded, etc. I am sure publishers are aware that this often happens
anyway... but please respect the conditions under which ARCs are shared. In
terms of adding to the national recycling burden, they represent a smidgen
of material.

Maybe they should offer these as self-destructing Kindle editions ;)
