Mobileread rules prevent me from saying properly what I think of your immoral behaviour in sending money to people who give away other people's work and solicit money for doing so.
If you are in a position in which really you cannot pay for ebooks, either though lack of funds, or because they are simply unavailable, I can understand why you might feel it reasonable to obtain them in other ways.
But to have money to spend on ebooks and then to spend it in such a way that
none of it goes to the people who created the books you enjoy is unconscionable.
