You need to leak your real name and address to get a valid #. No thanks.
People living on the grid have told me you need to put books on hold for those apps, and it removes it from your device at a set date if you can't renew. That's not worth it.

Absolutely - the $25 a month I spend on movies, music and magazines stretches back YEARS so I have a decent catalog. I think the kids have shellshock because walking into the bookstore and picking up a One Piece box set is $500 or whatever. Accumulate over time is the key.

Tbh idk what the point of even pirating an ebook is. Reading an ebook is already bad enough when I drop my phone on my face and loose my page, now I have to read it as a pdf? At that rate, I’d rather just pay for it honestly.

Also it’s like, I get there’s the whole "you will own nothing and be happy if buying isn’t owning stealing isn’t theft blah blah blah" people. But there’s already a solution to this for books. You just get the book made out of paper. No subscription, lasts for years, nobody can take it from you.

I typically go to the library or buy the book
But if it’s something that i can’t buy in my country, extremely expensive, or has a very …interesting type of guy who wrote it, i tend to pirate it.
But the guy said “free download” and “ebook” so i gave them those options
