Prem, Books are commodities -- easy to catalog, market, sell and distribute. Whoever does it faster and cheaper stands to make a lot of money. Amazon.com's Jeff Bezos, with zero previous book-selling experience, used this insight to sell books (and now sells many other things too). Other than that, neither Narayan Wagle nor Kiran Shrestha is "greedy". They have worked hard for their rewards. You do NOT know them. Still, that does not stop you from blatantly accusing them of things they are not and of things they did not do. Keep it up, for it will do wonders to your credibility. oohi ashu
