dear forum,

Sorry for the rookie question.
I am looking for the Darwin biography written by Desmond and Moore. It was published in 1991 so it can be found for less than a dollar online. The problem is that it is 900 pages!!!

I would happily buy the ebook version but the cost is $18. While I believe it might be fair to pay the digitalization of a book. I think the cost between the hard copy and the ebook is a bit ridiculous.

I know that DRM allows lending a book for 14 and was wondering if either someone here has that book or if there is a website or a forum where people lend ebooks to each other. I would be willing to pay for a used copy of the ebook but from what I understand this is not possible yet.

If this doesn't belong here please move.
