Just to repeat when I downloaded the darknet versions legal ebooks were NOT AVAILABLE in Australia. I think that many of you really don't understand how often others are frustrated by geographic restrictions.
I couldn't purchase legal copies of these books as none existed in Australia. I do already own the paper books but my preference is to read on my ereader and not carry heavy books around all day.
The Australian ebook release was only a few weeks ago but at the same time MANY other books that I also would like to buy became available - obviously some big deals were signed in publisher land.
I CAN afford the $180 to repurchase these books it just that each time I have gone shopping I have found something else I would rather spend my money on.
The quality is quite low so I expect that I will replace them with legal copies when they are again at the top of my wish list - it's just that they aren't there yet!
I'm too busy reading all the other books I have purchased in the past two weeks.
