    You could have made a better choice, I suppose. And some authors/editors do deserve the money.

    Pirating is not necessarily resisting. Are you taking money from authors who really really need it? Or are you taking money from rich CEOs who are worsening the environment, ruining future generations, slaving, etc?

      Ya good point.

      Seems like I’m doing it backwards lol

      Giving money to Amazon for the hardware and then stealing from the authors.

      I should do some more research before buying my next ebook reader.

      Whenever you want to buy a book, pirate it, then donate the amount equivalent to the purchase price directly to the authors. Bypass the middleman.
