Some would consider you as evil as those who upload ebook multipacks

I suspect like many others, you buy an ebook in a format that you can obtain, liberate the book from DRM and convert to suit your ereader's format preference.

The most important part of that paragraph above is that you have paid for the ebook and thus the author.
