Flagged - I know complaining about paywalls is against the rules, but this is not a regular paywall - this is a scummy "lemme add you to my mailing list and only then will you find out I also want money" kind of paywall. (According to other commenters, I'm not willing to enter my email.)

In case the author is reading - I actually quite like this "first chapter free" shareware model of book sales, it's just the misdirection I take offense to.

Also if you're asking for peoples email addresses please be up front about all of the reasons you want them.
