These have been on the Darknet for many years, of course. Downloading them from there is certainly quicker than messing around with Digital Editions, for one.
So if my time is valuable, certainly much smarter to get the free, no software needed, no DRM stripping time-wasting to be done, etc...
Plus you will be able to get a version of ALL of them zipped in a bundle - so only need to download once. Compare that to doing all the above 14 times. So going on a time analysis, you are a crazy person to pay for them.
