Or read free promotional copies--the "serialized at my blog; click here for combined version for $3" type, or the ones released by publishers as loss-leaders, or the free giveaways during read-an-ebook week. Or the free novels at Smashwords and Lulu. Or creative commons works. Or read library ebooks. Or read fanfiction. People willing to cope with DRM have the option of the Amazon lending library, and a lot more freebies through Kobo, Sony, B&N and iBooks.
There are plenty of legitimate, honorable ways to read novels for free, and they're not limited to public-domain works.
