You must have misread my post, as others already said
"If I had only wanted the content, I could have downloaded OCR'd copies" means that I wanted more than just the content (a real book), and DIDN'T download/read the pirated ones.
More accurately though, it went like this:
1. Buy ereader; no more heavy books
2. Try to buy books... somewhere. (Yes, the reader was an impulse buy.)
3. ^%&^%$^ .... Not available.
4. ^%&^%$^ .... Not available.
5. .... Repeat 3 and 4 ... !!
6. Go onto some torrent sites.
7. Available! Download it!
8. See crap quality and be disapointed because of bad layout and millions of errors
9. Throw away the download.
10. Repeat 2 up to 9 for two months.
11. Get very angry.
12. Sell ereader and wait.
In 2010, an explosion of available ebooks occurred, Calibre had matured greatly, and when the Kindle Touch was introduced in 2011, I bought it. Didn't read a paper book since. Using Kobo codes I can get original, legal books for so little money that it's not worth it to even try and find pirated copies. Who would, if a book only costs $1 or even less?
