Doesn't bother me in the least. If getting the paperbook sent to me from across the pond is perfectly legal, I don't see what the big game is over getting the ebook. I can't read the paperbook (due to vision loss), so I need the ebook (or audiobook). Unfortunately, I haven't been able to bypass Amazon restrictions (my credit card rejects), but I can Kobo and it's a non-problem. I download immediately, remove DRM and place in my Calibre library. The author and publisher has been paid, so what's the problem?
I've occasionally had audiobooks mailed to me...If I were able to circumvent that and download them digitally and avoid shipping costs, I would do that too. I'm not trying to cheat. I am just annoyed that a series that I was enjoying was withdrawn for sale in the US because of some kind of contractual issue - this does not benefit the author.
