For example, SEP would be hosting the previews on its website anyway, as all our previews are included in our "Downloads" section, sparse though it may be. At this time, we have no bandwidth concerns, though it'd be nice if we did. So if SEP signed up, our $99 would go to subsidize other companies' hosting and bandwidth on ENGS.I'm not sure what the free downloads might be, but I humbly suggest they would not be worth $99 to me, or likely even a fraction of that.Not that we'll be missed greatly, but SEP won't be joining ENGS specifically because of the $99 sign up fee. It just makes no financial sense for us to do that at this time.Of course, should ENGS--or whatever the acronym will be--become a huge success and draw tons of new PDF customers (which, as I understand, is the goal), the $99 might make more sense. That's a ways down the road right now though.So, that's a long-winded way of saying we at SEP wish ENGS and all the publishers there all the best, but we won't be paying $99 to join you.</blockquote>
