    Charging for a public domain book cause nazi brainlets will pay for it is one way to make money.

      Its 35 cents. Its probably just running costs. Bandwidth, storage, billing, etc. Cloud services get crazy expensive sometimes.

      In some countries the sale of the original book is prohibited so this might be an annotated version.

    I tried to read MK once, it was impenetrable. If you’re not intimately familiar with continental politics from the F/P war through Wiemar, most of it will sail noiselessly above your head.

    I read in a history once that the joke in Nazi Germany was that Mine Kamph was like the Bible; everyone owned a copy, but nobody read it.

      Yes, it was known to be impenetrable in the German Reich, but Germans thought it looked nice on their shelves and would occasionally read a two-sentence passage from it. Giggling optional.

      Hitler wrote it by pacing up and down in his prison cell ranting while Goebbels took notes (or recorded it, but I don’t remember if he had a tape recorder, and didn’t have a steganographer AFAIK. So yeah it smacks of radicalized old man ramblings much like Trump’s rally speeches.

      I tried decades ago. It was utterly senseless and the writing so poor I wouldn’t credit a thing the author had to say.
