I'll put it plain. The publishers and booksellers have given you a way-in fact, more than one way-of sharing your ebooks within the family. That wasn't good enough or convenient enough for you , so you decided to use your knowledge to break DRM and violate the author's copyright. I'm sure your BFFs on this forum support you on this. That's them. I'm not going to follow suit. Sorry.

You really make me very angry, when you write that. I DO NOT want to share my ebooks (and I've bought all of them) with anyone (they can buy their own). I just want to be sure, that I have a copy available, if for some reason, my ebookreader gives out or I can't access my backlog catalog because of changed format or GEO restrictions.
