But the site as a whole has a somewhat inconsistent attitude to these issues - there are some very useful tools out there that cannot be named, only alluded to, [ or get banned] yet it's OK to chat about how to rip the headers/ footers or the "converted by trial version of " embedded messages from books from dodgy sources; just saying is all...
I think AnotherCat meant me.

...

I apologize; if the book is not available as an ebook, and you own the pbook yourself, then of course you are allowed to do it, morally if not legally. I shouldn't've leapt to a conclusion.

Although if the book was available as an ebook, there's a good chance the legal copy would look much better.
