I'm not trying to flame anyone, and amn't the last bit interested in fishing, but I must say this: there is something amiss with applying out-dated business models to modern formats.
This is a slippery slope, but is possessing an electronic/digital copy of a text that a person legally purchased not akin to ripping the audio data on a CD to a computer' hard drive? People love that option, that ease of use; Apple is making money of the idea as a business model (so is Amazon, et al). Indeed, sadly, this wonderful move toward being digital and the 'singularity' encourage corruption with its simplicity.
That being said, malicious "piracy" to prove a point is asinine.
Does anyone on the forum have the means to contact the appropriate rep. at any publisher? Would glaldy pester the correct person to get digital copies of some of my favourite books....
maybe I should start a petition we can send to Penguin, McGraw-Hill, and their cohorts.
