I agree. Actually, if I make my own website, and pay for the domain
name and the disk space, is it vanity web? :)) And what is the
difference between me putting a PDF with my book on my website, and
posting a link to an online bookstore where the physical book can be
bought? The term "vanity press" should be limited to unpublishable
authors paying for their crap to be printed in order for them to be
able to give it to people who don't want to read it.
