Would love to read it Burnett, but the Times firewall is impregnable. You do not try to filch from old man Murdoch. Can you copy and paste?

Ah, sorry about that. I must get it free with my Apple media subscription.

Don’t underestimate the power of an enticing book cover to draw in readers; the prose, the blurb, the characters, the story arc are subordinate to a beautiful cover - well, at least at the point of sale.

On a mobile device, one could theoretically refresh the page then quickly turn on Airplane mode. If timed correctly, the text loads before the paywall overlay blocks it. Unfortunately, this method will likely prevent background images (like representative bookcovers) from loading.
I'm not a webdev, but it may work this way to give GoogleBing enough time to index the content for visibility.

Clever. But my mobile device is cursed by the devil himself. Anything useful I ask it to do requires a human sacrifice as I've already pledged my soul.On a mobile device, one could theoretically refresh the page then quickly turn on Airplane mode.
