I voted once in a while - I downloaded a few books when I first got my Kindle to "try it out" but since then just one that I already own a copy of and isn't officially available in ebook format. I'm not sure I can say I will never download any books in future, but while I wouldn't pay what I feel are OTT full retail prices for an ebook, I'd prefer just to wait until it comes down to a more reasonable price than get a pirated copy.

If everyone downloaded books for free, nobody would bother writing them. For music there is always the argument that groups can make their money via concert sales, merchandise etc, how on earth are authors supposed to earn a living if so many people think they should be able to read their books for free?

Edited to add: I strip the DRM from most of the books I buy though, and I've borrowed some epub books from the library and converted them to read on the Kindle, I guess that counts too!
