promotions are not done out of generosity. The intent is to eventually sell more books. Think of it as an entry drug......
A second hand book can only be passed on and read so many times before it falls apart, a library book benefits the author on original sale and on each loan. A pirated book can be copied an unlimited number of times without any benefit to the author.
It is entirely possible to read for free legally, public domain, freebies, library books, friends books, without becoming a thief.
I will happily accept a free book, knowing that if I enjoy it I will probably buy more by that author. If I can't afford that then too bad, at least I got the first one free.
My thanks to all those who post public domain books here.
