Why? In order to read the book. It would be a vast understatement to say that I don't have extra income to spend on books - after rent and my phone bill are paid, I have $276 left each month to cover all expenses, starting with food. Does my downloading a book cost the author anything? Well, of course not! Because if it weren't free it never would have made it into my collection
Oh, and if you hadn't noticed, a significant number of posts to this forum are ebook uploads. In fact that's how I found this forum to begin with - googling for an epub/mobi copy of something that I ended up downloading here.
