Is this legal?
33 Agatha Christie e-books, .lit format. He sends by download.
I would be worried about formatting, as well. Anyone ever had experience with something like this? |

Very likely illegal.
And most of it will be badly formatted, too. |

Definitely illegal. There are only two Agatha Christies out of copyright in the USA. We have both of them in our upload section.

Of course, I forgot to send the link you you could look for yourself. Its on E-bay. So, how can he do this without getting into trouble?

If you report him to ebay, then he will be in trouble.
It's a big place and stuff slips through. |

It's good you didn't post the link. It would have had to be removed.

There's always the chance that it means those are 33 books that Agatha Christie owned, not 33 books about her. They would be copyright free now.
