I'm one of those weird people that'll buy it if it's possible. As I said I've got a huge TBR list at the moment so I'm not allowed to buy any ebooks at the moment, so hopefully by the time I've read those I can buy it legally.
Another option is asking the pbook for Christmas (which is available for me); my mother is panicking that she doesn't know what to buy for me since because I've switched to ebooks.
