Picture this....

You want an ebook of a specific book. You go to the LEGAL ebook shops on the net searching for this on a format you can convert or read as is. You cannot find such because it's not available. So you go to the darknet and find a copy, download it, convert it, and read it.

Now take that same person and the same ebook and make a legally available copy in a format that can be dealt with. This person BUYS the ebook and does not go looking in the darknet for a copy. Everyone is happy, the publisher, author, and shop all get paid and it's all legal.

The publishers need to release MORE ebooks. One thing I find really annoying.... New books that are part of s series being available as ebooks yet the rest of the series is not. So you go to the darknet to find the past books and as long as you are there, might as well ge the new one also.

See, publishers have their heads so far up their asses that they cannot see what harm they are doing when they could be doing good. You don't release part of a series, you rlease THE ENTIRE SERIES!

Come on publishers... WAKE UP! You are losing money by doing this in a really asinine way.
