I object to the notion that "for free from somewhere else" means pirated. what about books downloaded from Mobileread itself, or Project Gutenberg, or any of several other legitimate sources of free books? Given what people are equating that choice with, I didn't check it, but were the question phrased in a more neutral way, I would certainly have said yes. While I don't read too many books that are in the public domain, I certainly do read some. (Such as the entire Miss Silver series, all of Dorothy Sayers, or even Ernest Hemingway. Keep in mind that I'm in Canada, a +50 country.)
Otherwise, I'm very much in agreement with Harry. I buy from wherever, strip DRM and bring into Calibre, convert as required, and sideload.
