Hey TUEBLovers, Welcome to Cheapass Fiction!

Remember back in the day, like July, when the rage against TUEBL began?

The Ultimate Ebook Library
The internet needs a library. The internet needs shelves to wander by and rows of spines to run your fingers over. It needs a floor to sit on for hours between the shelves with one book, or a pile.
