Fortune.com hasn't got the message that Forbes.com did get. Fortune is behind Forbes in website development, article content, and quality of investment advice. They might catch up sometime.<BR/><BR/>So I have posted the article without permission of the author, although Paulo approved.<BR/><BR/>As for Paulo's English titles, it does appear that he doesn't offer much in the way of downloads. Not sure why. Ask him.John Kremerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16486115512048790419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10284418.post-81885707790853692242008-02-06T07:21:00.000-08:002008-02-06T07:21:00.000-08:00Thanks for the info, John.<BR/><BR/>One concern I have is that on Paulo Choelho's site, he is only giving away the English language prologue of The Alchemist, while the Spanish and other languages has it in its entirety. If he believes in what he is saying, why doesn't he have the Alchemist available in full in English? Is he implying that his technique only works in non-English speaking countries?<BR/><BR/>In fact, the only book he has in full online for English speakers is a collection of 110 short stories. None of his other 11 books seem to be available.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I missed a link or something.Robert Treskillardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17767228138541201198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10284418.post-8741334708997377312008-02-05T11:49:00.000-08:002008-02-05T11:49:00.000-08:00Above you said, "I am sharing this story from David Kirkpatrick's Fast Forward blog at Fortune.com because I do not know how to link to it..."<BR/><BR/>Did you get permission to reprint this from fortune.com before you posted it in its entirety. Isn't that copyright infringement?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10284418.post-80173367367666195862008-02-04T22:44:00.000-08:002008-02-04T22:44:00.000-08:00Susan . . . If you have a question on the details of Paulo's, ask him. The books I've seen were in PDF format, the most common format. Most books are given away as one PDF file, not separated by chapter.<BR/><BR/>But, again, if you want to know, check out Paulo's blog and ask him.John Kremerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16486115512048790419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10284418.post-30153688630705554472008-02-04T15:51:00.000-08:002008-02-04T15:51:00.000-08:00Hello John,<BR/><BR/>If possible, it would be great to know if he had the electronic copy of his book in pdf, html or something else.<BR/><BR/>And, was the whole book in one file, or was each chapter a separate file?<BR/><BR/>Many thanks for this great story.<BR/><BR/>Kind regards,<BR/>Susan Vollmer<BR/>Author of Legends, Leaders, Legacies<BR/>http://www.susanv.comSusanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15421200257795760740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10284418.post-56573897914528230892008-02-04T09:49:00.000-08:002008-02-04T09:49:00.000-08:00hello!<BR/>I'm a big Paulo Coelho's fan and I don't know if you heard about his blog<BR/><A HREF="http://www.paulocoelhoblog.com" REL="nofollow">http://www.paulocoelhoblog.com</A><BR/>I've started as a fan and now I'm collaborating with him and thought that you would like to enter his universe.<BR/>Check the blog.<BR/> if you want, or subscribe to his newsletter<BR/><A HREF="http://www.warriorofthelight.com/engl/index.html" REL="nofollow">http://www.warriorofthelight.com/engl/index.html</A><BR/>You'll see a community of warriors of light sharing ideas, dreams and most importantly following their personal legend.<BR/><BR/>QUOTE OF THE DAY:<BR/><BR/>We need to forget what we think we are, so that we can really become what we are.<BR/> <BR/>Have a nice day! <BR/><BR/>Aartaart hilalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14945708872455810836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10284418.post-89160256045319530252008-02-04T06:52:00.000-08:002008-02-04T06:52:00.000-08:00Hi John,<BR/><BR/>For what it's worth, I started giving away my most recent book online, and since then I've seen my sales double.
