Fiddaman, published author has to buy 30 copies of his own books from Chipmunka !

I do think it's a shame that their policy is now changed so that you don't get a physical copy of your book unless you choose to buy 30 copies (that's at a minimum cost of £360 if your book costs £10 x 30 + postage and packing). Now they are concentrating on ebooks unless you pay for the full service.
