One of the biggest problems I find is just *finding* legal versions of some books in a series. For example. I can find Mobi versions of "Flight of the Intruder", by Stephen Coonts, but I cannot find "Final Flight" - which is the second one in the series. And while I can find *some* of Tanya Huff's "Blood..." series, I can't find *any* of her Valor series commercially.

So, having bought numerous copies of their works in MMPB, I turn to 'darknet' for my copies until the publishers get wise enough to re-release them in ebook format. And every time they release a title I've 'darknetted', I buy it.
