While I don't condone pirating as a means for getting works for free, I have been known to pickup an ebook when there wasn't one commercially available but only if I had a paper version. For example I used to have the "Lord of the Rings" books and darknet ebooks, but once they were available digitally I removed the darknet copies. Now I have the single hardback, paperback copies, and legitimate ebook copies.

I am in that situation, and really don't know what to do. To me it seems we may have a bigger problem than expensive ebooks.
Most of the books I want are old books, The Dragonlance books are an example, not one of the original books (and I have nearly 60 of them) are available in ebook format, I think its because the paper backs are cheap and because Amazon prices ebooks less that paper books even a new ebook would be priced low so publishers do not think it is worth their while releasing them.
Luckily I read fan fiction (which is free) on my Kindle so I am not reliant on buying ebooks, as for me there is just not enough books I want available right now.
