Actually the recluse series is a good example. I am going to buy that series on recommendation in pbook format since I could not find it as ebook series. Afterwards I will download them from the darknet, put the pbooks in my shelves and enjoy my ereader...
Morally suspect? I don't believe so. Legal? Certainly (I am allowed to have a digital copy of an original work)! While my behaviour as a student, when I was poor, was maybe not legal, I still consider it not as that hineous. What did it cost the authorg? Nothing. What did it gain them? Book sales once I could afford them. I am now 27 years old and surely will continue to "pay back" the authors for a few years...
About me beeing a leech, well, my taxes alone are double the usual income in my country (Germany) and now I not only can afford books/ ebooks, but do so. Please read more carefull before you write opinions like that.
cheers,
