Right now you can only do this one subscription at a time... requiring $5
at a pop. I see your idea, and I think it's a cool one, but I think we have
to be careful with this... at some point the granularity of these
subscriptions becomes a problem. Like, we couldn't transfer just 1 page
because you'd load it, it would be gone, and you'd never know you have
it. Likewise we probably need to provide notification for the recipient,
and make it possible to turn it on and off. Maybe if we did this only in
multiples of 100 pages this is possible. 100 pages costs a dime and
strikes me as a reasonable "Reward" size without being to much of an
administrative burden.
Anyway, we don't have time to code this, so I'm moving it to low priority
and suggesting people give us patches for it.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I'm a programmer, so maybe I'll tackle this. 100 pages
minimum would be quite an amazing gift, if you ask me. That
way if you wanted to give 5000 pages to someone, it might
become that elusive bribe in the journal disclaimer!!! You
could have a whole slashdot currency system going on as a
result. If you tied this into an online store, you could use
the pages for purchases, as well.
