This morning, someone bought four of my books. Bought, not downloaded a freebie. This will get important.
I was really happy. It meant that the month was off to a good start (yes, €10 do mean that much).
Two hours later, all books were returned.
So I'm thinking that this is not just a reader disliking book 1 (which is actually free) and then ditching the rest.
No, I believe this is a pirate helping themselves to my series for free. That hurts.
