Ditto, a minute to find a torrent, a couple of minutes to download those ebooks. Good quality .lit files, easily converted to ePub in Calibre. Now deleted, of course.

There is a vast quantity out there, but I don't think it actually has much effect on sales. It seems to be mostly a competition to see who can get and post the biggest collection.

I will say that I haven't managed to spot a UK edition of the Harry Potter ebooks. There are astonishingly good versions of the US editions out there though.
