Might I respectfully suggest to some of the people with free time on their hands that they would be more profitably employed in creating some books themselves, to share with others?
Hi Harry,

I also spend a lot of time formatting stories for the Ebook Library and I've shared all the files in various ways since I opened the archive. For most people downloading the story they find works just fine for them but there are cases where it's really nice to be able to download a lot at once and run out the door.

I think because I never minded sharing my efforts with others I have a hard time seeing the other pov.
